Cam's Story

Since finishing Carolina in December, 1977, I moved to Minneapolis, MN. I managed roller skating centers for 3 years there, then on to Phoenix, AZ to operate a center there for awhile. Deciding I didn't like the desert, I moved back to Minneapolis in 1980. While in AZ, I became engaged to my wife, whom I met shortly after coming to MN from school. We were married in January of 1982, and moved to the Washington D.C. area the next year. I operated a skating center in Gaithersburg MD for the next 5 years, then sold cars there for three more. My first child, daughter Katy, was born in 1989, and in 1990 we moved back to MN. I managed car dealerships for the next 5 years. My other child, Michael, was born in 1993. In 1996, I went into the new home construction business. I "suped" several sites for the next 3 years. In 2000, I went back to managing car dealers again. This lasted until this past fall, when I finally had enough of that business and quit. I've been out of work since then, but haven't minded. I realize I do have a family, and they're pretty neat! I doing great now, watching hoops and hockey and trying to stay warm! I'm not sure why anyone chooses to live in MN. The older I get, the more I hate these winters! I look forward to hearing from you all. I always wanted to be a gigolo when I grew up. My family and friends thought that wa...Expand for more
s a bad idea. As it turns out, they were wrong. First, blow up, then kick back and swill beers and laugh! The wildest thing I ever did in school might have been when I snuck into South Tower dorm with a girl one night after open hours. Because South Tower had communal bathrooms, I was not able to use them for fear of us getting caught. I had drank a lot of beer that night and had to relieve myself bad. So, we opened her window and I peed out the window from about fifteen floors up! If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a lot of coffee, alone time, and quiet to be able to deal with the day-to-day. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Dave Loeser, because friend and 1st roomie. I'm a total political junkie! A liberal one at that! I lived in Bates House freshman and sophomore years, moved to Bates West my junior year and then to River Ridge apartments off Greystone my last year! I loved my years at Carolina! I was mostly a womanizing drunk! If I had my choice for right now, I would be living at Hedonism III in Jamaica, naked, and drinking beer with freinds. My current age is 54. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be creeky and old. I was so completely wrong. My best friend would tell you I'm an ass, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as pretty nice.
