Cool Stuff I Did in High School High School was pretty much a train depot to the rest of my life! Waiting and waiting to finally get started with real life.

I do remember a few friends made along the way and memories of a basketball team that had unbelievable talent but no desire...except of course Stormin Norman who played even when he was sick and running off the court in the middle of the game to throw up in the field (yeah right - sick????). I do remember my time with lower classmates Keith Johnson, Jeff Souza, Jeff Pickett and classmate Marty Henry helping and following their band (Wow - surprised I can even remember a thing with the many brain cells that we eliminated during that period).

Still residing in Fresno and watching our children become healthy adults both in body and in mind.  They will be great additions to the world as a whole and we are very proud of who they are becoming. We hope to be able to make the re-union but if not we hope relationships will be re-established and new relationships started.

Cool Stuff I've Done in the Last 25 Years This is the best area of my life. Hands down...the coolest thing I have done since High School is to marry Cherie an have my 4 chilin’! From then on it has been one wild ride after another. I haven’t been around the world or flownjets or gone on safari!! I have had an amazing affair with a woman for 24 years. I have been responsible for 4 beautiful children, perfectly regular in their irregularity and have been blessed beyond belief by a very special friend who has guided me through the whole experience. Without Him, and all these other special blessings, my life would be incomplete at best.

God bless long, loving, monogamous affairs sometimes referred to as marriage!

By the time the re-union rolls around we will have done alot more than we have ever done.  When kids life as we knew it ceased and total attention was given to them.  Now it is time for some us time in Hawaii. Will be renewing our vows over there and doing as much as our feeble bodies will allow. God Bless!!
