Don's Story

Do you know me? I was born in 1960. I lived in DEER PARK until I was 10. I went to kindergarden 1st & 2cd grade at HOWARD ELEMENTARY. For kindergarden I had Mrs. Broom. In first grade I had Mrs Rosenfield, but she died halfway thru the year and was replaced by Miss Mund. In 2cd grade I had either Mrs. Brothers or Mrs. Bools. (Give me a break-it was 40 years ago.) In third grade I started going to AMITY where I had either Mrs. Brothers or Mrs. Bools. For 4th grade I had Mrs. Malloy. During those years I also attended CCD at ST. JOHN in Deer Park and received First Communion there. After my 4th grade year my family and I moved to BANDERA TX. My first year at BANDERA ELEMENTARY I had Mrs. Curbo. In 6th grade I had Mrs. Allert. I took CCD at ST. STANISLAUS into high school, and served as an altar boy there. I continued on in the Bandera school system thru my Sophomre year. Then my family moved back to Cincinnati. I spent my Jr and Sr years at SYCAMORE H.S. I also took a year of CCD at ST. URSALINE. I graduated high school in 1978. That same year I began my first job at the MARRIOTT HOT SHOPPE in KENWOOD MALL. I was there for a little over a year, mainly in the dishroom, but also as a busboy and cook. After Marriott sold the place, I didn't get along too well with the new owner and left. I got a job on 2cd shift at GIBSON GREETING CARDS and worked there for about a year and a half. Then I left to go into business with my dad. We owned DEER PARK PIZZA. I stayed there till the place sold in '84. I went to work at the RAMADA at 71 and Pfieffer. I worked in their banquet dept. In '86 I went to work as a barback/doorman at LUCY'S...Expand for more
in the HOLIDAY INN QUEENSGATE. About that time I enrolled at SOUTHERN OHIO COLLEGE. I majored in Audio/Video Production. I was also editor of the school newspaper. I graduated in 1988. My first job out of college was with BRANNON CABLE TV ADVERTISING in Hamilton. I worked ther for a few months, then got laid off. By that time I was a regular at the Tues nite open mike nights at the old FUNNY BONE in Montgomery (where Go Bananas is now) A friend told me he could get me work doing stand up so I decided to pursue a career in showbiz. I did that for about a year, traveling around the region. I did shows in little podunk bars and hotel lounges all over Ohio, Ky, Ind, Penns, WVa, Maryland, and one time I even stuck my nose into the state of NY, in Lakewood right across the border. After a year or so, Brannon called me back, and by that time I was thrilled to go. I stayed active in the local comedic community for some time afterward. In the mid 90's I joined an Improv Group called DISFUNNYGUY. We later changed our name to HACK COMEDY BINGO. For the record, I didn't like either name. I wanted us to be called The Happy Tapeworms. But anywho, we did shows every other Tues at GO BANANAS for a couple of years and it was a blast. But then it fizzled out. Since then I've only done standup a couple of times. The last time was early in '01 at UC in a show hosted by Scott Dominion, may he rest in peace. These days I live in ROSSMOYNE and work for ENTERPRISE VENDING and on the side for AMERICAN VIDEO. I'm a Eucharistic Minister at ST. JOHN in Deer Park. I'm divorced with 2 stepkids and a 3 lb teacup poodle named Penny. So, ring any bells?
