Del Geller

graduated from kent state in 1976. have lived in cleveland, chicago, rochester, atlanta, ft. lauderdale, & now in quincy. father died in 1989. mother died in 2012. still living is my sister (75). i worked for H.I.S. for a few years & american health fitness clubs for a few more. caught encephalitis in 1982 & couldn't even talk for 4 yrs. & lost 30lbs. in first 2 weeks. i was only 1 of 2 that even survived it so i feel very lucky. married wanda on june 6, 2003. we live on 12.6 acres of land & have a house on it with 2 lab/chows that weigh 120lbs. apiece. their names are panther & indian & we call them our boys.

the golf coach (mr.gibson) wanted me to get a haircut or i couldn't play in our next outing. i didn't want to (i had a giant afro at the time). my mom said to wash it & comb it back & she tied 1 end of a stocking & said to sleep withh it on. i woke up the next morning with my hair plastered straight back & the coach thought i got it cut so he said i could play. when we got to about the 4th hole it began raining, so my hair turned curly again & i finished with my afro again. he looked at me & all he asked was "did i win". i said yes & he never bothered me about getting my hair cut again.
