School Story:
I remember my first day at Gull Lake in 4th grade, I was placed in Mr. Bartow's class. My first friend was Tammy Lawrence, and I remember I had a bright green snowsuit with orange stripes that was NEW, not a hand-me-down! Although I was very proud of my stylish 70's suit, I didn't wear it long-my nickname became The Little Green Bug, and Earl Gooch and Leslie Merlau chased me all over the playground! Scarred for life!! :) Every year, my teachers would grimace and say, "Another Swarms?" There were 7 of us; apparently a couple of my older brothers made lasting impressions. Me, not so much. I think I have always had a good sense of humor, even if my mouth worked faster than my brain. Ah well, some things haven't changed! I don't remember making too many enemies, and I had some friends, so I guess things weren't too bad.
