I'm afraid I don't regularly keep up with many of our classmates other than one, Teresa Meisel. I asked Teresa out on a date toward the end of senior year and we have been together ever since, married since 1983. I roomed with Tom Oles and Charles Donohue one year at UF, but haven't seen them in years.
The last reunion we attended was the 20th, and everybody asked me if I still play guitar. You may have seen our high school rock band, Airhead (with Mike McLeod and Stan Sepneiski), play. We used to play regularly in bars around Orlando (pretty weird since we were all 17 at the time). I think the ones we played most frequently were Sam's Woodshed Pub, the Silver Dome Lounge in Pine Hills, and the Pitcher House Pub. Airhead broke up a few months after graduation as college beckoned. I continued to play in rock bands through sophomore year at UF, then gave it up to focus more on school. I still play guitar, and I record CDs for fun with a friend of mine up here who has a recording studio. I've also done a few things with Mike McLeod, who now lives in Atlanta. My 16 year-old son Brian plays guitar, and he is better than I was at his age.
Our family lived in Australia in 2002, and it was a blast. My daughter Julia and I went back this past Christmas so she could visit with some of her friends there. I would love to retire there; it is a wonderful, laid-back place to live.
Teresa is going to be at the Sunday afternoon part of the reunion. I can't make it, and I really wish I could.
