Jim's Story
Life
After high school I goofed off for a year or so before deciding to go back to school. After a year at TJC I then transferred to OSU where I graduated with a B.A. in History. I was there working on my Masters when I decided that I no longer wanted to be a history professor. I moved back to Tulsa and went to work as a computer geek. I currently manage a network engineering team and love every minute of it.
Take that Mr. O....you were wrong and I didn't end up in prison 3 months after graduation.
School
Biggest crush = Dodie Logue. I was crazy about that girl.
Which teach inspired me the most? None of them. I hated school and only wanted the hell out of there.
Would I do it over again? Most of it. Of course I do have regrets. The two biggest of which are not treating Dodie the way she fully deserved and for the lousy way I treated/broke up with Leigh Battle. Both were amazing people and deserved better than I treated them.
My favorite memory has to be the part...Expand for more
y at Tom Summar's house. Supposed to just be a few of us there for some beer and hanging out. Next thing you know there is an endless stream of cars coming down his drive. I'm betting somewhere around 300 people showed up that night. Not sure anything will ever top that night. How can you beat a night when Jenna Chaney kept rewinding a porn scene over and over? Of course there was also Brent Sanders wandering around in the woods "hunting bear" and Billy Johns getting knocked out by a sucker punch and me carrying him around the house vowing revenge on whoever did it.
A close second has to be one of the many parties at my house. The one that sticks out the most was when the doorbell rang and it was the police. Imagine that. ;) As I'm standing there talking to them, beer in hand of course, Michele Gardner comes down the stairs wearing nothing but one of my t-shirts. The cop looks at her, then looks at me and says "We'll leave you alone. You kids have fun." Coolest police ever!
