After I completed my sophomore year at MLS I couldn't resist the call for warmer weather and completed high school at California Lutheran. Then I spent the four coldest years of my life getting my teaching degree at MLC. I married Dale in 1988 (also a graduate of CLHS and MLC). I have been living in southern CA since then teaching on/off at our Lutheran school in Carlsbad. Dale spends his time putting up with me, running several businesses he owns, and serving on boards at CLHS and our church. Together we spend time watching our kids at all their sporting events. I've stayed in touch with a few MLS grads like Steve Towne, John Koeppen, Gene Martens, Char Stobb, and Sue Maasch. Our summer plans include a trip to Yellowstone with the Towne and Koeppen families.

Most of my memories are from dorm days like when we put dissected frog parts all over the girl's bathroom (I'm sure this was Sue Maasch's idea), watching my roommate,Sarah Higgins, get yet another per taken away for not making her bed, and hanging out in Tutor Dietz's room when she probably would have preferred solitude.
