Hello Everyone,

I can only say WOW!! I read alot of the postings and I see everyone has had and incredible twenty years as post High School living. As for me, I really do not know where to start. I did enter the Navy after High School. There I got a chance to tour the world twice. It was an adventure I know I would have never experienced had I not join the Navy. After the Navy I started a career in the welding industry. That lasted a while and it provided a great living life style for me. It was just one day I decided (at least I thought I decided) I was ready for a new career. I must say at first I didn't know what I was doing but some how some way I ended up in Newport News Va. teaching High School. I know a lot of you may not believe it, but yes, I was a High School Computer Science Teacher. The experience of teaching was so overwelming and rewarding, I, again started another adventure. This time I entered college, again, and worked hard. Two years later I graduated with a Masters in Education. With this the plan was to aply for an Assistant Principal position. The plan stalled when the reserves called me back to active duty. I now teach the Information System Curse for the Army soilders who has finnish boot camp. For the last three or so years I have lived in Agusta, Ga. The military life has granted me the (once again) experience to travel. This time the travel is within the 50 states. I have not married nor have I had any kids. This is just a small portion of what I have experienced since High School. I have more to tell when we are all at the Party.

The best school story I can think of is being in English class with James Taborn, Greg Wagstaff, and several others.


OK I have added some pictures.....
