Most everyone knew that I had a pretty physical relationship with Kathy Fencl and if we weren't fighting we were doing something else. But I really liked being in the northeast end of the building were the auto shop and trades were. I really liked the street racing, and the late nights. I worked COOP in my senior year so I could pay for all the gas I was using running the streets, but that was what was the fun of it. I know there is more to remember but for some reason the time back then is a little bit fuzzy which seemed to have dulled the memories a little. But that was then and it was a good time for all of us, at least all who can recall it..............

Married twice and have 2 great girls. I still am into cars and have 1 very nice classic cars of my own , Ha Ha classic cars I bought the first one when we were in school and now it's a classic, does that mean I'm a classic too? Most maybe remember me being kinda small and because I did get picked on a little bit. But after I got out of the navy I got a little bigger and not much could rattle me, so as a part time job for about 22 years I was a bouncer in quite a few local bars. I did become pretty good at it and for a long time not to many were able to push me around, some of you guys ran into me in some of the local places some to say hi and some to have a drink or 2. I really did enjoy it before I hurt my back, but I do have a lot of great stroies and memories to tell to my girls. I don't regreat any of it but it did take a toll on me physcially. My last marriage was the hardest because I did love her a lot but when you bring kids into the mix and they (1 of the girls ) are out of control and you don't get the support you would need to correct the problem , well things just seem to fall apart. Were still friends but ?????. Maybe next time. I'm still looking for the right one. Maybe she is in the next place your not looking. And of course there was that little problem between Fred Byler and me , but that all blew over and we became friends again, but it took some time.

I live just 2 blocks from the High school now. Go to church here and try to stay active in that because the Lord will bring you peace if you just open your heart.

I see some of the friends I had in school but as far as hang out , I don't really. I went into the Navy right after school so I lost touch for a time and really never reconnected with any one when I moved back. When I moved back I was married and some of my friends who wern't just drifted away.

I don't think so but I do recall being called a few choise words back then by a very mad redhead.

I spend most of my time with my cars and doing a little work on the side , (on cars) as I did work in auto dealerships for 33 years. Now I just watch TV & play in the garage taking my time by building a mini bike for my daughter, it's all most done!

I did for a short time. I had an auto shop , but I had hurt my back & was unable to do the heavy work & couldn't get any good worker so I sold it. I went on Vacation in 2010 in the later part of the year. Came back & had a triple bypass about 3 months later. So now all I do is watch TV & am involved in the local car club here in town.

There has always been some of my classmates that I would like to connect with and maybe talk about some of the times we spent way back then and I hope any that are reading this can give me a call or drop me a line & we can have a good laugh at some of those old times. GOD BLESS !!!
