Where else have you lived?

West St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights, and currently Eagan. I've sure traveled huh :)

What did you think you would do for a living when you graduated?

Well I guess I thought that I would get some kind of corporate job. The career would start right out of college and I would be with that company forever. Figured I'd be married with a kid at 24 also. I was definately a late bloomer as I married at 33, and just had our first baby at 37.

What other jobs have you had since graduating?

I was a "produce inspector" at Kraft General Foods right out of college. I got to look at lettuce and strawberrys all day. It was actually a pretty good 1st job. I feel like I've forgotten everything about veggies and fruit though.

I was a "ragman" for about six years. Selling textiles to garment manufacturers across the midwest. Wasn't a passion, but it was great experience in sales.

Premier Productions DJ service. Been doing that on the side since about '95. Don't DJ weddings very often anymore, typically only for friends. Still do a lot of shows and productions though which I enjoy.

What is your post-graduation story?

The old Lincoln School has been torn down so I about balled when I saw that. Wish I could have walked through it before it went down.

I've heard that there are quite a number of our old teachers still involved, either recently retired, or subbing, and even still teaching. Kinda fun to remember all those teachers.

Specific stories - There's a lot of great memories.

Do you still have family in SSP

Parents and sisters. My brothers fam didn't go too far as they live in Newport.

How often do you get back?

I still bank at Mainstreet Bank (Southview Bank).

Who are you most looking forward to seeing again?

As per our 10 year reunion down at Drovers, I think I'm looking forward to Bauer sporting some kind of 70's SSP shorts to rip, and the popular Nike Cortez sneaks. How bout it Jenny, you still have that outfit?

What's the farthest you have been from SSP?

Jamaica, Porta Villarta Mexico
