David Armstrong:  

Life Geez, what to say? I drifted after high school, not focusing on anything. I wound up working on the ski slopes of Keystone for a few years, and then spent time doing everything from waiter to sales manager, ranch hand to handyman, freelance writer to teen counselor. Lots of jobs, but nothing like a career. After I finished a few years on the road with a jazz and soul band, I wound up in California.

I really wish that I'd done better back in high school for the simple reason that I was capable of so much more than I did. Still, I'm doing fine now and I've stopped regretting my earlier behavior a long time ago. It would've been nice, but I won't dwell on it any more. Who was my biggest crush? It seems like as a hormonal teenager, I had a new crush every other month or so... some were more serious, some less. Some that I still think of from time to time are Stacee, Laura, Colleen, Carol, Dee Dee, Kris, Kim, Kerri, Clarissa, and Mariclare... there are several others too, but memories have become hazy over time.
