Tracy Richardson

After graduation from Memorial, I went to Texas State University on a Volleyball Scholarship, but my career was cut short due to injury and a little problem with alcohol. I struggled during the 1980's and part of the 90's with substance abuse and finally became sober in 2002 and have been sober for 9 1/2 years.
I became a hairstylist in 1989 and then fell into the film and television industry and moved to Los Angeles, where I've been living since 1995. I love Los Angeles and after 20 years of going to community college in Houston and LA, I finally graduated from UCLA in 2006 with a BA in Anthropology.
I'm very grateful to have reconnected with a few of my classmates and look forward to attending future reunions with the rest of the '81 Class!

All the new varsity volleyball recruits being hazed by the senior volleyball teammates when we made varsity was truly a fun experience.
Going to football games, hanging out in the tree's, going to parties, staying out way past my curfue and getting in trouble. Taking the SAT and ACT hungover. The transition from disco music to punk music and the New Wave fashion seen in the school halls. Liquid lunches, Rocky Horror Picture Show at the West Alabama Movie Theatre.
