I have been Making artificial limbs for 40 years, own my business in Madison Wisconsin. divorced 2008 , paying for kids college , a bit of travel. I like fast cars still, always shopping for the next toy. I don't miss Chicago traffic.
I liked being a small fish in a big pond. I think I graduated 1536 out of 1600. I worked my way through college and got better grades because I needed the good student discount on my auto insurance. Losing my virginity to a classmate on my way to work. I never thought it would happen.
staying out of prison, becoming a board certified prosthetist at age 21. having two great boys. My oldest was a Wisconsin state champion diver in high school, youngest was runner up two years in a row. Way more distinguished than my swimming career at Lane.
My success in finding my profession is due to going to Lane and all the shop classes (and delivering pizzas to a house of ill repute at Division and Rush streets senior year).
