Best FUHS School Memories:

Two real friendships, smoking on Pomona, drugs and alcohol, orchestra, dating, facing bullies that were popular because they were on 'the team,' so the school admin didn't care or deal with it, dropping out and finishing my last year and a half of school in two months of night school where I could work and learn at MY pace instead of living in that social outcast club and then moving on to college which wasn't much better.
Sorry, but that's as good as it got for me. My parents divorced at that time, but that's not a school memory, just a good one. I was tired of watching my dad abuse my mom and us kids.

Who Was Your Favorite Teacher?

You're joking, right? None.
High School was a waste of time. The best part of it was not being there.
The only thing I learned of any use was math, which I didn't need a teacher for. Nothing else that I was involved in, including orchestra, mattered throughout my life. I developed my skills to do 5-axis programming and engineering after I left High School and finally got a real education.
