Christopher Richardson

After we graduated I spent my time going to school at NMSU, working at Mesilla Valley Hospital and the psych hospital in Santa Teresa until 93 when I moved to Hawaii. I've been here ever since. I worked in children's mental health until 2001. Now I'm an electrical contractor.

On the non work/school side of things, I've been skydiving since a couple of years after high school. I'm also a paraglider pilot and have spent most of my adult life engaged in one or both of these sports. Having Reece has changed my priorities a bit but I still manage to get out once in a while. I sometimes help with electronic music festivals and I'm a classical music junkie.

The thing that I remember most vividly right now about high school were the all day chorus rehearsals for Modernaires. We worked SO hard for so many hours straight. It was sort of the musical version of the Bataan Death March. We got a lot accomplished over the course of a weekend and it was always a really talented bunch. My musical gift to the group was that I did NOT sing. I was the bass player and the band would chain smoke, drink "New Coke" and work the music all day.
