I still have a baby jar filled with ash. I can't remember if I thought that would be worth something someday or what, but I sure find a crap-load of it when I'm gardening to this day. Your memory continues to amaze me. I remember that T-shirt!!! I still have a baby jar filled with ash.

I was a junior at McMinnville High School and a member of the vocal jazz ensemble. We were traveling to Powell River, B.C. and had left school at about 5 a.m. We crossed the Tuttle River Bridge just as the volcano erupted! our charter bus driver drove off the freeway and up a huge hill. We sat on the hillside watching the eruption for more than 1 hour. I took photos that would knock your socks off...but, I haven't been able to find them for the past 3 years! (pre-digital camera era).<br/><br/>Now, I celebrate Mt. St. Helens Day because my son, who is now 15, was born on May 18. It's my favorite day of the year! I, too, was near the volcano on that day.
