'03 Moved to D.C., right next to the Nat'l Cathedral on Wisc Ave and worked as a police officer downtown.

'04 Decided we hated city life, so we bought 5 acres with a big old house and barns near the C&O canal and started constructing the kennel and got married.

Loving life ever since (even if I do work 7 days per week a lot)

It would have to be one Michelle DeGrange told me about Mr. Wolf throwing the projection screen across the room when the class played a prank on him with the power or something. Sorry I wasn't there but it was funny when she told me, honest.

I also remember Coach Clay saying "don't let the door knob hit ya, where the good Lord split ya" when someone got pissed off at him.

I also remember Michelle DeGrange and crew arranging a "sit-in" to protest the change in schedule and the firing of Mr. Conlon, our beloved Irish-warrior history teacher.

I remember the Choir getting a standing ovation for "the Rose" and "Elijah Rock", going to the Bahamas for a Choir trip, and the men's choir singing "little red riding hood" with Bram Gallager dressing in drag.
