Barry's Story
Life
After graduating NTH, attended California State University Long Beach, majoring in Motion Picture Production.
I always had an interest in classic cars (drove a bronze 65 Mustang back in the New Trier days) and have massed a small but formidable collection of 60-70's muscle cars. That intrest in cars landed me a 3 year tour of auto-shop class at New Trier. I learned many valuable automotive & mechanical skills from the teachings of Ed Slezak's autoshop class during periods 1 & 2. Having autoshop as my first class left me clothes reaking like gasoline and chemical parts cleaner for the remainder of my classes. That wonderful scent combined with my chic sense of daily attire (a long sleeve flannel shirt with a black rock concert T-shirt) plus shy nature was perhap...Expand for more
s, the recipie for no high school sweetheart and no prom.
My mechanical skills combined with some luck, did however prove fruitfull years later as I was offered a chance to drive for Bill Stroppe Mototsports/ Parnelli Jones (Ford).. which I did up until Bill Stroppe passed away
Well, thats my "Cliff Note" version of the past 20yrs. Dang it sounds so me me me and all about me! Haha... Lame!
HOPE TO GET BACK TO NORTH SHORE FOR REUNION - would be nice to see how everyone's doing and how we've grown. Heck, if it weren't for my height to give me away (Im still tall ; 6' 7") ...doubt anyone will recognize me!
Take care, and thanks for the High School memories.
BTW I apologize for any smelling errors, I didn't bother poof reading
