What are your favorite memories of NHS?

Going over Niles Buchanan bridge in one lane and being in the other lane on the other side. Saw Steve Marshal & Tom Bonner turn white. VW of course, missed a little because I had to take the trailer back. Drinking with Bob Haslett before football & basketball games, everyone always had the munchies & Ed Weede said it was the first time the N club broke even, didn't make a profit. Steve or Dave spilled the change box and money went all over the basketball court. I remember Dave Barnes stopping and picking up a quarter and putting it in his sock during the game. Student gov't. days, Mr. Helms class, "you understand"? I'll think of more later.

High points of your life since high school?

I finally got a real job and made a little money with vacation!! Went back to college in '85 for 4 years to do it but I was fortunate to be able to. Guess it's sad when that is a high point huh?

How often do you get back to Niles, MI?

Live there

Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

I don't see many but talk when I do. Suprises me when I find out who is still in the area and never see them.

Did you have any nicknames in school? If so, what were they?

What do you like to do in your spare time?

snowmobile, cut firewood, garden, tinker in the pole barn, (a true guys place). Always have projects I'm messing around with. The last three years were going to be the year of the motorcycle, haven't had one for a while, maybe next year? I apologize to the environmentalist, I have spent quite a bit of time hiding small white balls in woods, streams, ponds, lakes, tall grass, occasionally in the middle of a field of grass, (never think to look there). And I'm not alone, I find others when I'm making sure I hid mine well.

Other comments for your classmates:

I have really enjoyed reading what others have done over the years and the pictures. I don't have any good ones of me, they look just like me. Keep it up........

I went all through school with Mickey, kindergarten through high school. Always a polite and nice guy. Lost track of him, maybe ran into him a couple times. Like so many classmates, I knew Mickey but did not "know" him. Some of us have been meeting at Martins supermarket the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 8 AM, the group is slowly growing from word of mouth, and I'm getting to "know" some of the classmates better. I wish I'd had that chance with Mickey.
