Comments:

After graduating I spent a couple of years in Iowa working at a church (and learning that money doesn't grow on trees). After 2 years I was forced to move back home with the folks (good times, good times). I went to work in the hotel industry and worked in Mpls for a few years. I moved back to Iowa in 1994 (had to go see about a girl...). We married in '95 and set about on a goal to repopulate the earth with little Felch's. We moved a lot for the next 8 years until finally settling in Kansas. I currently oversee 3 hotels in KS and MO, & work out of Lawrence. ( I had to learn A LOT about college sports fast! - GO KU).

What are some memories of high school (i.e. secret crush, embarrassing moment, funniest thing you did in high school, favorite high school hang out, favorite teachers)?

I remember riding in a car with Martha when she knocked over a gas pump (yeah the whole pump) and the station guy just kept glaring at me like it was my fault.

Then there was the time I knocked over a fence with my car in some guy's yard and Dave Campen pulled up behind me and introduced himself to me and the angry homeowner like we didn't know each other (that's what friends are for...)

Mr. Mueller saying, and I quote, "I wish I could make you all do push-ups!"

If I told you my secret crush then it wouldn't be a secret anymore.

Least favorite memory?

Well there was this whole thing about Hunter and I being asked to babysit some underclassman....

Biggest thing you would do differently if you went back to your time at MLHS?

Three things...

1. I would have gotten my hair cut differently A LOT SOONER! (Just when I thought I had destroyed all evidence of my time in a Beatles cover band...).

2. Borrowed more lunch money that I never had to pay back

3. Not taken myself, or life, so seriously.

Name something you love:

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, but I am not sure what that has to do with a 20th reunion.

Attending Reunion

Yes
