Gary's Story
Wow the years have passed so quickly , like the blink of an eye . I'm coming up on my 40th year since high school , I wasn't quite sure of getting into this forum , high school was a awkward time for me , I wasn't in with the jocks or the cool kids , just hung with my small circle of friends . We had the Vietnam war going on , the teachers strike , the Peace movement . What got me to subscribe was all the raw feelings that I still can recall when I think of the time in high school , the fun stuff and the embarrasing things . If I hurt anyones feelings I apologize , I was young and dum , trying to find myself , as I think we all were . Now let me talk about some of the fun stuff I remember . They got rid of the dress code in 70 , wow beards and sidburns , long hair . Crusing Tweedy blvd. in anything that would run . Burning rubber especially around the high school, Good old 25 cent gas at Scottys g...Expand for more
as , parties that came along , The beach was just a short hop away . The burger joints , Lions Drag strip , That cool underpass under the street in front of the high school . A great park that had lots of room and a big pool open all summer . Fireworks on the Fourth of July , A great big party in the park for Halloween and big fire . Great parades for Christmas . I guess overall it was a pretty good place to grow up .
Now since High School , a few jobs then College ELAC , then LATTC , then later AVC . Worked at Nasa as a jet mechanic , then motorcycle shop , Industrial Maintenance mech. I came to the High Desert of Calif. I worked all kinds of jobs , construction , remodels . etc. I have a lady that I've been with since 79 and I have one daughter and couple of grandkids . I build hotrods , motorcycles , go to cruise ins . So there it is if you would like to talk to me feel free . I'm on facebook .
