Bill Green:  

I remember home room with Miss Berg! I also remember there were a number of students in home room who I had been in classes since Hampton Elementary School. Custer was extremely crowded that 1970 year and our graduation ceremony was held at the football stadium. Each student could have only 2 guests. Hopefully I'll recognize some faces on here. I always wanted to be a nice guy when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right. I always wanted to be a designer, architect when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right. Blow of steam? Yikes, here in New Mexico there is no steam! Actually I'm working on my house so I can sell it! My steam blowing days are over. I retired from teaching after 22 years at New Mexico State University! I wasn't wild at all at Custer that I remember. I know I blended in with the crowds of the hallways! If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a Starbucks Mocha lite, my iPhone, and my daily devotional reading. to be able to deal with the day-to-day. Never really had heroes, although I have very fond memories of my parents. I moved from Milwaukee to attend Kansas City Art institute. My senior year I spent in London, England studying typography. I returned with a BFA in Graphic Design and a post-grad certificate in Advanced Typographic Design from the London College of Printing. Anyway, I eventually got a tenure-track teaching position at New Mexico State University. I did a small stint in Canyon, TX of which I have wonderful fond memories. I moved from Canyon to Ann Arbor, MI to attend grad school and obtained my MFA in Graphic Design. That got me my job in NM. Time sweeps aways 22 years and I retired in Dec. 2010! Now I want to sell my nifty big adobe house and outside studio and either move to AZ, CA or CO. Anyone want to visit me in CO when I win the HGTV 2011 Green Home Giveaway!? The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Roy Schutlz, because he was a fine good friend since Mt. Tabor UCC and Edison JR. High!. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Roy Schultz, because he was a fine good friend from Mt. Tabor UCC and Edison Jr. High!. This house allows 2 dogs and 2 cats. I never was a cat person until the chair of my committee at Ann Arbor said I needed a cat! Probably the guy I thought I was going to be with the rest of my life at my tender age of 19 wasn't met to be! I've met a number of guys over the years and time has told me that my parents marriage was the best. Nothing compares. I would enjoy seeing all my teachers if I could. They were patient, kind, and we always knew our boundaries with them. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel some major windows and add on a big smile. My dream home would be again, the HGTV 2011 Green Home Giveaway in Stapleton, CO. If I won $100 million, I'd give half of it of it to United Church of Christ, then spend the rest on myself, family and family. My first dorm experience was at KCAI. one semester was enough! Although I could always see my studio dept. from my window! In London I lived in sorta a hostel for students. Breakfast every morning and a healthy walk to school. My roommate was from Hong Kong. Again a dorm in grad school, one semester as I recall, with a roommate from Korea. He had it figured out as a Engineer manager grad student. Every night he solved class problems via phone calls with his classmates. To be happy? These days it revolves around AZ, CO, CA and Mexico again! I've been twice to Mexico City, with a visit to Oaxaca and some other villages. But southern CA has drawn me a number of times as a perfect place. My ex-partner and I have taken many trips there and visited with his family and...Expand for more
