Would love to hear from classmates who remember me. I was a bit of a jokester in Highschool and I remember the best class was Honors African American History 7th period taught by Miss. Ford. My major was computer maintenance which ironically is still my first love.
School
My biggest Crush was with a young lady by the name of Caletha Henderson who I have not seen as a member of classmates and have wondered over the years how she was doing. The teachers who inspired me the most was my 7th per honors African American History Teacher Mrs.Ford and my swim coach Tom Haas. I would love to do a few things differently. Funniest moment in school for me was varsity swim team initiation as a soph, when i was forced to get drunk at my first swim competition. Graduation was my happiest moment and making state in diving. My craziest memories were city football championships at Soldier Field and the after victory fights.
