Remember high speed, reckless driving with Jeff (Parnelli) Davis, Dick Inloes, GH Marsh and Tom Ringel. We nearly crashed while driving to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break, lucky to be alive. Lots of great parties and dates with terrific classmates. "Arrested" with Jeff (of course) for trying to buy 2 cases of beer at age 16.
