Some of my best friends in high school (and what I liked most about them):
Dale Kershner, he turned me on to all kinds of great music
Kent Sterling, he and I had lots of adventure
Dicky Thomson, he turned me on to surfing and made being an artist seem like a cool thing.
Jeff Beard, Randy McFarland and Gary Leist my garage band mates made making music fun
Joe Crawford was such an awesome athelete and show off, I wanted to be just like him.
John Arnolfo was a class act and my in to the "In Crowd"
Kim Walbrecht was beautiful and I fell in love with her because she was the singer in the band, Hot Roast Beef which for my money was the best local band around (Steve Pew, Dale Lear, Lance Gosnel and Steve Nardini)
