The hallowed halls of Eureka High School were filled with life on Saturday evening. Memories of twenty years ago floated across the smiling faces of some twenty alumni and their guests as principal Richard Wherley led them from station to station. But in one of the most remarkable statistical occurences known to man (at least to one man), no one stood taller than Joe McDonald.
Literally.
Former students basked in admiration of the new library, office and band room space. Spouses glided along, savoring a piece of their loved one's past. And McDonald busily sidled up as closely as he could to the tallest competitors in order to verify his claim.
"It's incredible. This has never happened before, at least not on this big of a scale," he whispered to himself.
Some claim that it's still never happened. Pundits point out that Dan Meister is pretty tall himself, after McDonald snuck up closely behind Meister as he held a door open for others.
"Even when you did that thing where you stretched your back as high as you could without lifting your heels off the ground, you mayyyybe were taller than him by your hair," said Dena.
Others disagreed. "Look at the thickness of those heels," he insisted.
Some tall dude named Tim showed up near the end of the tour, which was arguably too late to enter the competition. McDonald also called out Tim's character, given the outright rudeness of being tardy, but the argument lost steam when Tim was invited up to lead the pre-dinner prayer.
