Lance Bower

Worked at Auto Machine & Parts from Feb. of
1978 to Dec. of 2005. Working my way up
from floor sweeper to shop supervisor.
Left there in 2005, and went to work at
Traffic Control Devices to run their shop, which
we maintain over 400 pieces of equipment.
Got married in Aug. of 2003 to Stacey Peterson
( Evans class of 1984 )

In my limited spare time, I enjoy working on
and restoring 1965-1966 Ford Mustangs,
and mountain biking anywhere I can, and
horseback riding with my wife.

It was another typical day in Mr. Siebert's
DECA class ( no one minding, and Jeff
Blalock putting obscene things on the overhead
projector). When in runs someone dressed in
overhauls and a ski mask, runs up to Mr.
Siebert and grabs his hairpiece from his head
and runs back out the door. Everyone went
crazy with laughter. Some of us went after
the masked man but to no avail. Does anyone
remember this incident that wasn't in class
that day??????

Wrestling
Screwing with coach JB Gordon.

Yes, always wanted to work on anything
automotive, and still do.

Cruising the streets of Pine Hills and
Orlando with John Hack in his 1970
Dodge Duster, cranking up the tunes,
and always hanging out in the Burger Chef
parking lot.

If the wife is working fighting fires, I'm usually
at home working on something.
If she is not working, we enjoy going out
to dinner, or take one of the Mustangs
cruising to the monthly car show in
downtown Eustis.

I had, and still have it, a 1965 Mustang
( which has gone thru quite a transformation )

And would ride with John Hack to school also.

Best memories, Traveling to Tampa and staying
there for Regional Wrestling Tournaments, and
the constant screwing with coach Gordon
and his classroom either during wrestling
practice, or when I was his student assistant.

Worst, having to carry a weapon to school
my sophmore year, because I was threatened
by a big senior at the time.
( carrying a weapon to Evans is probably
standard procedure now !!! )
