Guy's Story
Well, a lot has happened unfortunately I did not graduate. After I left Belvedere high school, I went to Jefferson high and with the curriculum descriptions between the two schools, they would not let me pursue my choice of classes that wanted to take to get into the trade that I wanted to pursue. So I dropped out of school and into the work world.
I had some trouble with the law and some legal matters. Time to settle down! Got together with my wife and with her three children the youngest one who might be mine.
