David's Story
You probably remember me as the nerd who sang in the Ensemble at Hilltop High, but don’t forget my stunning career on the tennis team. Well, not so stunning, but I did finally get a letter in my senior year and I still have the jacket. I had to fight to get it back though because my step daughter wore it for years and thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Right after High School I traveled across the country with Mike Bandelin in an old pickup truck he bought from our football coach, whose name I can’t remember now. We were gone all summer and little more. The next summer we did it again and this time Doug Key was with us.
Eventually I wound up at Southwestern Community College as a music major. From there I transferred to Arizona State University. I got married my last year at Arizona State University and after a few years moved...Expand for more
to Houston Texas to start a sprinkler business with Doug Key. We sold that company to a landscape company. Shortly after I got divorced and drifted back into the restaurant business. I was transferred to Memphis, TN where I met my best friend and soul mate, Linda. We met on a blind date and I proposed 3 days later. A week after that, she said yes. We’ve been together for 33 years now. Linda has two kids, Jennifer and Christian.
I retired on December 14th, 2018. On December 31st I had my right hip replaced. That went so well that I am having my left shoulder replaced on July 12th. On April 1st we took up residence in Bluffton, SC. We are having as home built which should be finished in December or January. I love to ski and play golf and I do a lot of cycling.
I am looking forward to seeing most of you at our 50th reunion.
