Comments:

I worked in Vocational Rehabilitation for 18 years. Teaching at the high school level is a second career. Married in 1974. Would still be married to Jeanette but she passed away three years ago.

School Story:

Graduated college in "73, "74 and "76. Worked in vocational rehabilitation and taught special education in high school. Raised a great family with my lovely wife. Retired in 2013. After tending to my wife while she was ill I started traveling. I've been to Italy, Greece, the Aegean Sea, and Egypt. On my way to China. The plane leaves tonight. Also, have taken family vacations with my children and there families.

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

Jim Latrell

My favorite subjects in high school were...

P.E. My favorite subjects as a teacher were World and United States History.

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

Paul Babwin, Chris Bohl, Joe Rice, John Feyling. They were all good guys to hang out with. A mention to my college roommate, Charlie Challstrom as well. I am still in contact with all of them.

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

Same as above. Just getting reacquainted with Jim Vaughn.

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

Birth of my three kids and seeing them graduate from Universities. Honorable mention to my wife for making it all possible.

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

Canada, Mexico, England, France, Germany, Lichtenstein, Austria. Also been to 47 of the 50 United States. Just visited Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Aegean Sea and Egypt in the last year. On my way to China.

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

All of my kids sporting and Indian Guides experiences. I also coached their soccer teams for 12 years. Becoming a world traveler over the last year is pretty neat. Two of those trips were taken with classmate Joe Rice.

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

A college roommate thinking that I was a burglar and pointing a gun in my face one night.

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

Lazy retiree most of the time. And world traveller for the last year and a half. I am also an involved parent and grand parent.

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

My children and grand children, keeping physically fit, exercising my 55 lb. brown lab everyday.

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 to fast and get caught every now and then.
