Comments:

Well, I spent a lot of time married....currently to Cheryl of 26 years but she is my third wife :). I moved to Lake Tahoe after attending Canada College for two years. Attended U of Nevada in Reno and then transfered to Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village. Along this path I excelled at rock climbing, skiing, and making lots of money as a carpenter. I ended up quitting college in my senior year to make money. I built homes in Tahoe until 1987 when my current wife and our first daughter moved to Sebastopol. I built spec homes , did some commercial TI, and remodeled in Sonoma County until 2003. Since then I have been running a family business back in Redwood City and working on building it to the place where I can telecommute.....would love to then move outta this state...perhaps Oregon?

School Story:

I was a good kid...until college...made up for lost time then :)

My web site:

borntobejimmyjay.com (joke)

The teacher who had the most positive impact on me at San Carlos High:

Mr. Cohen and Mr. Dreaver

My favorite subjects in high school were...

PE, metal shop.....guess I was good at math my buildings are plumb and square

Some of my best friends in high school (and what I liked most about them):

Gary Wilson....neighbor and friend....best man (first wedding but I can't remember that many wives ago). Joan Tarplee...my first love (pitter patter)....she was smart or I'd be up to four wives!

Classmates I keep in touch with (frequently, often, sometimes)

I see Mark Knutpher (sp?) around town and just reconnected with Gary Wilson

Some of the most meaningful events or experiences that have occurred in my life since graduating from SCHS include...

1.Living at Tahoe and meeting my third wife there...an ER nurse who refuses to take care of me
2. My youngest daughter surviving cancer at age 8
3. Still being able to ski (water and snow) after a total knee...(and after abusing my body with hard work for many years...ouch)
3. Currently having an income
4. My oldest daughter getting married last Saturday

Given the opportunity to collaborate with other classmates for professional reasons or just for fun, what kind of talents, skills, and abilities (that are enjoyable for you) could you offer?

I'll tell you where to place that piece of wood....for big bucks.

Countries (and cities) I have visited since graduating include:

Mexico, Canada, Great Britain, Switzerland, Bahamas, Caribbean...mostly all for snow skiing or scuba diving

Some of the most memorable/fun/funny/important things I've done since graduating include:

Trying marriage until I got it right.....

The scariest moment of my life since graduating from SCHS was when...

Finding out my little girl, with the non-stop smile and heart of gold, had cancer

25 Random things about me...

I can't lie
People remember my laugh and my name (yes, Jimmy Jay is the legal, real thing)
I was a surfer in high school (mavericks and all)
I have had 11 surgeries
I can't spell
I can't hear...wear ear protection out there...but it comes in useful (not hearing that is)
I am faithful....with all wives!
25...really...I think this is enough....you don't need to know where every freckle is....let's leave something to talk about when I see you...

The best words and phrases to describe who I am these days are:

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else".

-Judy Garland

The things I am most passionate about these days include...

Getting up in the morning...first being glad I am on this side of the dirt, second that I can move enough to make it to the bathroom

Tell us about your driving tickets: the funniest, the most severe, the one you should have been given but didn't (and how you got out of it), and so on...

I drive a typical big contractor truck with racks and no back-up beeper...and dammit then they invented cell phones, texting, i-pods, GPS's, XM......needless to say small children or midgets should NOT walk behind my truck as I don't need another dent

Online reading, videos, or other material I'd like to share with my classmates

Read?

I think Kevin rocks!
