School Story:
I had a great time in High School. Reading about all the stories of yearbook class and sporting events. I was rather quiet, but participated in everything and had a blast.
I still keep in touch with Kevin Taylor, Tommy Flannagan and Mark Ott. We talk on a regular basis. Its rare to still be best friends with 3 guys almost 20 years after high school.
Well, after reading everyones profiles, I realize what a goodie-goodie I was.
I remember finally making the traveling squad on the Tennis team my Sr year after playing since 7th grade. That was cool. One match in particular, I remember Mike Johnson and Kevin Chappel almost getting in a fight with the other team during a doubles match. Mike and Kevin kept hitting them with the ball.Tennis is not a sport you normally associate with violence.
I remember a lot of late night driving with Ken Warlick to away basketball games. I don't think I missed more than a couple of games, home or away that year.
I remember making runs to Pizza Hut with Kevin Taylor, Mark Ott, and Scott Lechlider many times.
My year as DECA President was a disaster. Ms. Pagna pissed me off eary in the year and I refused to participate in many activities including the state convention. I was a crappy president.
There are way too many yearbook stories to relay here. A lot of them have been told by others, but enjoyed that class and the freedon we had. Mrs. Clark was either very naive or turned a blind eye to a lot of things. Best class ever.

Reading Kevin Taylor's page reminded me of a time. As I have said, I was a sheltered boy back then. We would cruise Memorial in Kevin's Chevell. One weekend, we decided to got o Claremore to cruise becuase we heard there were a lot of kids there. Well, I wasn't supposed to be going, and when we got there, one of the TV stations that my parents watched were doing a story about cruising Claremore. Every time we passed by the camera, I had to duck down in the passangers seat so I wouldn't get caught.
