Larry Jensen:  

School: School was interesting for me. It was a place I couldn't wait to get out of. Today, I tell kids: Don't be in a Hurry! School is a time when you get to have fun, spend your days learning and creating memories. After school, it's mostly Work, Work, Work and some play. One the of funniest Year Book photos (of me) was the one where someone caught me coming out the Front Door of the school. I don't think I walked out that door more than twice in 4 years! I was usually sneaking out the back or side. Still don't know how they got that. Some of you might not know this, but in '83 I built the Float for Homecoming. It was destroyed the night before, during the Hypnotisms Show. (remember the one where someones Mom regressed into another language!!! Freaky) Well, I dragged it home and my brother and I spent all night rebuilding it for the Parade the next day. It was during the Parade around the football field that they held the Costume Show while we were driving around the field and one of our classmates accidentally walked into the path of the pull car (the Black Firebird) Since we had people on the float we couldn't simply slam on the brakes and we ended up hitting him. I think he won the contest though! :) Now that I am older I realize how important school is, and other than wishing I had pursued my dream to become an Architect, I now think I would have been a great teacher as well. I really like the Summer's Off deal too! It is ironic that the teacher who inspired me most was one that I really didn't get along with until senior year. Mr. Shapiro the History Teacher. For some reason we always butted heads from 7th grade on, but in my senior year he really showed me that I had so many possibilities ahead of me and taught me to go after my passion. Work: In 1983 I was to head out to California after graduation with my '66 Mustang I restored. Remember that one. Did most of the work in the shop class. A sudden vacancy at my Dad's busines...Expand for more
