Dan's Story
2 years in Denver 12 years in Seattle before I figured out that Arizona is really home for me. But not Cottonwood I just can't do that again. I now am the Operator for our water company.Yea thats right they put me in charge of the water system.Scary thought ha.I spend most of my free time attending funfly's and demonstrations with my fleet of competition
The way I remember things. 85% of this class were small town hicks that really didn't understand anything other than small town America. Mcclarny and Rippy made my life hell. Most of you that attended school with me before Mingus will recall I was a bit of an athlete. In 7th and 8th grade these two men attended most of the sporting events I was involved in. They tolled me "I must perform for them when I get...Expand for more
to there school. And I must find new friends. Non athletic people are not acceptable".FT. Try attending that school when those two men are telling you 2 years before you get their " your on my watch list".
Yea I got kicked out for laying out Vice Principal James Mcclarny
( I'm probably not spelling the name right)
He kept telling me " The First Punch Is Free" during our last conflict. I took my free shot and was ban from attending public schools for doing so. I still managed to receive my diploma. A year ahead of my class mates.
Those that I consider my friends already know this story. But for those that use to ask me why I didn't join the Marauders team?I joined the US Army. Did well athletically. Served my country with pride. You now know my story.
