Jim Harris:  

Life Well, where do I start? I was always interested in finding old friends, just never really knew of any means to do it. Then I find this site! For those who remember me, from Newbury Elementary, Jones Jr High, or Macomber-Whitney … greetings! I am currently married to my Jr HS sweetheart, the former Melanie Shuman. We have two children, Ryan 6, and Kaylee 1. Upon graduation from Macomber, I worked shortly at Broadway Litho working as an offset printing operator. Stuff got less than challenging, so I decided to challenge myself and the fun hasn’t stopped since. I joined the Marine Corps and haven’t looked back. So I’m over 12 years now in active service. I’ve pretty much done and seen many things since HS, from living in Japan for two years, to spending 3 years as a Marine Corps recruiter, to my current assignment stationed here in the heart of London, England. I can’t say that I miss Toledo life all that much, but I terribly miss my childhood friends. Strange for some folks to fathom never seeing your buds after HS, but I haven’t. I just never got the opportunity to see the occasional hometown friend while frequenting a store or ballgame! I really like to chat or e-mail most of you when I get the chance. If you get a second, e-mail me and I’ll get back with you. Let’s catch up! Jim School This is nice…a HS bio. How the hell am I supposed to do that – I’ve been out of school for 15 years!

I spent much of my free time in Mr Sherlock’s art room working and honing a skill that I haven’t used since. One of my credits was a joint mural done with Chris DeSandro in front of the counselors office of the Mac-Man and Mac chick. I played 2 years of Varsity baseball, and JV one year. I was one of the rare white guys who could play basketball well, especially at my small 5’7” skinny frame at the time. Now that I’ve been serving in the Marine Corps for the past 15 years, that body is long gone, but it’s still nice to think how skinny I was. I was in a couple drama plays…for the life of me, I can’t remember the names. Actually I can: “Inside Lester” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” Maybe the memory banks aren’t so bad after all! My senior year I was named Most Outstanding Student in my vocational trade, Graphic Arts. Thanks to Mr. Bell for that award. He saw something that I never did at the time. Like I mentioned earlier, about 6 months after graduation, I joined the Marine Corps. I haven’t seen much of Toledo in the past decade or so. I sure miss the people, community, and my old friends. Although I wouldn’t ch...Expand for more
