Joe's Story
Life
Well, in a nutshell, graduated HS, took 6.5 years to complete my undergrad in general studies with a focus on Psychology and Sociology, began working at New Orleans Adolesent Hospital in 98, 99 began working with Hope Haven, promoted to Clinical Associate, applied to a few schools for Social Work and Counseling. Was accepted to a program at Our Lady of Holy Cross College for counseling with a specialty in Marriage and Family Counseling, graduated, became a National Certified Counselor, was then hired to run Responsibility House Social Detox program (inpatient substance abuse treatment), obtained a state license as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and then a state license as a Marriage and Family Therapest (LMFT), hired as the Senior Clinical Supervisor at Family Service of Greater New Orleans and a few months prior to Katrina promoted to Clinical Director of our main office on Canal St. (how's that for a run-on?)
Closed on a house one week before Katrina. We bought in Algeirs, thank goodness.

All while quitting "the band", hooking up, moving in, saving a business, opening a business, getting loaded-DAILY, closing a business, suffering panic attacks, getting sober, getting married, obtaining a DIVORCE!, hooking up-AGAIN, moving in, moving out, FALLING MADLY IN LOVE, getting married FOR REAL, buying a house and then that damn storm.
Okay, fair enough, I AM bragging because most of us know that many believed (including me) that I wouldn't amount to much...so far I have beat the odds and under some dramatic circumstances. I will never miss having drama in my life again. I learned from it, though.
Now, I wonder how you all are doing and hope that your lives have been more successful and less dramatic than mine.
If you are reading this then I thank you for indulging me (and getting though my misspellings--we all know I have been a poor student for most of my life). Please email me and let me know how things are going.
AND CAN WE GET A REUNION GOING---PLEASE. Hell, I might even attend.
