1 year at WWU and losing interest in school led to an abrupt decision to get out of town on the next plane, traine or bus...

3 years jumping out of perfectly good airplanes as a Forward Observor for the 82nd Airborne. Hooah and when my time was done I was ready to go to...

Washington State Univ., rooming with Jay Maylor who worked at the I.T. Dept. 3 great years at WSU culminated in a B.A. in Economics. While at WSU I ran for President of the United States Intercollegiate Legislature. Lost AGAIN, but gave the best speech of my life and met a wonderful woman from Oklahoma which led me, in 1990, to move to...

Oklahoma! Married above my pay-grade to the beautiful Elizabeth Jane Coyne and became a doting step-father to Jessica Leigh. Worked for a natural gas pipeline and started learning the energy industry, which I've been in ever since. Added a Masters Degree in Energy Economics from the University of Oklahoma, go Sooners!

Now living in Allen, TX (Dallas suburb) and leading a team of energy consultants helping large industrials navigate deregulated electricity and natural gas markets.

Andy, thanks for mentioning my stunning defeat to you in '83. I suppose your lack of TV etc. contributed to your being more of a "people person" than I was at the time. And you call John Kerry a true politician.... dude, you are the man, now all gung ho on 50 cal and stuff. THANKS for your service.

I still would love to put together another game of Risk at the house, if anyone's interested. Andy, Garth, Brad, what do you say?

Making poor Wesley Pitts suffer the ride from OHHS to a french restaurant in Coupeville while a few of us (names redacted to protect the not so innocent) smoked something a little harsher than clove cigarettes. To his eternal credit, while Wesley was completely mortified, he never ratted us out.

Probably my favorite memories are the debate events around the state. Mrs. Trudy Sundburg remains one of my favorite people and mentors. Liz Harrington, where are you now and did you ever pass the bar?

For those keeping track of underclassmen, David Leon (my step-brother) graduated from UCLA with a degree in music and can be tracked down at www.soundmindmusic.com. And can anyone tell me how to contact my friend Michelle Casky? I hope she is well.
