Christopher's Story
I always wanted to be a artist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
To relax I Veg out
The wildest thing I did in school was get in a fight with a "mauvo" (remember that word?) that was running into me each lap around the second floor I kinda won I guess...He gave up easily
Spent most of my life in the general vicinity of Portland. I lived in Tokyo for 2 years in the Army and worked as a medical illustrator.
I like calico cats. I have three
My biggest surprise in life is that I'm not a lazy as I thought. Held a responsible engineering job with the same company for almost 40 years.
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the basement which would double the size of the house and add on a pool/party room. But there's no logical reason to do that since I live alone. My dream home would be the one I live in now. Love it!!!
If I won $100 million, I'd give 50% of it to my sons, then spend the rest on wine, women and Viagra. ;-)
My current age is 62. When I was 12, I thought that people 50 now shou...Expand for more
ld be dead. I was so completely wrong!!!. I'm having the time of my life.
My 1st real crush was on BJ Jank class of '66 ....I married her but we divorced in 1976 but have 2 great sons and BJ & I are still friends.
My best friends would tell you I'm flirtacious, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as shy in most situations.
I don't dress much differnt than I did back in high school but my Levis are longer...remeber that look with the Converse All-Stars and white sox???
I share my home with 3 cats, which I find relaxing and perfect for now. Sometimes a girlfriend or two.
If I had a do-over I would've finished college but "she got pregnant"
In 40 years, I hope to be alive. I'm going to get there by genetics.
Probably the biggest surprise at reunions is that everyone recognizes me. Haven't changed that much in looks I guess
My first job was at Rhodes Refrigeration in 1964, where I got paid $2.50/hr to draw up engineering plans. What I remember most about it is I had to work for my dad which wasn't too bad I guess in retrospect.
