Noon: Don’t Get Above Your Raisin

I've just spent the weekend with about ten friends I grew up with and/or went to high school with in Kellogg. In terms of employment, I suppose it could be said that several of us got above our raisin'. Most of us are working in jobs that are more lucrative than what we could do in Kellogg. But none of us have forgotten where we came from and how hard how mothers and fathers worked in Kellogg and how hard we worked and work in Kellogg to make what we presently do possible. It's humbling. We know our own hard work and that of our parents has been rewarded. It's been possible to go on cruises or get into a mortgage or raise children who were not deprived; each in our own way, we've had it pretty good/Raymond Pert, Kellogg Bloggin'. More here.

Question: Do you know school mates from your Glory Days who got too big for their britches?
