I left Berea after my sophomore year in 1986 when my mom and I moved to Avon Lake with my step-dad. I spent 9 years of my childhood in Berea and it's fascinating to see many of you on here. I'm having a hard time remembering a lot of you. We had a big class compared to the one that I graduated with at Avon Lake.

Our old gym and health teacher, Wayne Schneider, is my step-uncle. Mr. Schneider is doing fine and he doesn't look like he's aged at all. I may try and invite him to the reunion.

Neil Lester, R.J., Eric Oliver and myself stole my mom's car when we were 14-15 and drove it to Cleveland. My mom was freaked out the next day because she couldn't figure out why her seat was so far back. Daddy long legs, Neil, was the one driving.

I remember Joel Rohfeld punching me every day in 10th grade in the side of the arm. That felt good!

I worked at a somewhat up-scale restaurant in Strongsville in high school. I remember seeing a teacher of mine, and certain assistant principal together in the lounge sharing a romantic moment!
