I have lived all over Ohio and came to West Virginia when a job moved me here 20 years ago. The job left, but I stayed. We really love it here. And yes; all my friends wear shoes and have all their teeth! While I have remained a huge Bengals fan, I’m sorry to say that I have become a WVU fan. Go 'eers!

Music has always been a major part of my life. In fact, I met Donna in a capella choir. She used to stand in front of me. We both continue to sing. In fact I direct a men’s a capella chorus. We sing music in the 4-part close harmony style called barbershop. Donna sings in a similar ladies group called Sweet Adelines. It seems one of us is singing just about every day of the week somewhere. I would highly recommend that if you used to sing in high school, look up a barbershop chorus in your area (they are all over) and try them out. You will be like me and say “I wish I’d done this earlier!”

Lately a lot of our time has been spent with my triplet grandkids. They were born last August and as you can expect, demand a lot of attention. Of course grandma spends much more time with them they I do! I never thought I’d have a favorite, but I do. It’s whichever one I’m holding at the time!

I golf, fish, play soccer, and like to travel. Yes, you read right. I play soccer in an over 35 league. Being well over 35, I’m usually the oldest one on the field.

I am so looking forward to the reunion in August and meet again all the great people I went to high school with! Don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like.

One of my best memories from high school was when I was pinned to become a Choralier and when we got to pin the incoming group.

I also remember Senior Breakfast. I think that's what we called it. That was when a big group of us went to a bar and ate scrambled eggs and drank beer! At about 7:30am!

It will be great to see you all again and bring back memories and stories from those bygone days!
