Keith's Story
After learning that it was all right to play with my food I became a chef after graduating from NYU finally in 85 with a very useful degree in European history specializing in the 1300's to 1600's dealing mainly with religion and the Catholic and the Lutheran reformation. Had the honor to serve five President and many CEO's and dignitaries. A still consider CIA director Mr. Leon Panetta a personal friend since 96 when he used eat lunch in my office during the Atlanta Olympics. I am semi-retired due to me beating up my body for so many years and a lot of Budding experiences. My dad remarried Eleanor Hawkins in 1974 and you probably remember my new brothers Micheal and Mark and Sisters Kathy, Karen and Beth. My other brother Paul was to young at the time to have the pleasure of the Lyman experience. Very much like me when I returned from England in 1971 I wanted to go back to Lyman and finish my high school there with my old friends from South Seminole Jr. but they could not figure out what I took there and wanted my to repeat my 10th grade year and we all know back then I was not going for that plan, so I went to Platts Academy and graduated on time in 1973. I became a lifelong member of TKE Lambda Iota FSU in !974 a lot of fun especially during parents weekend, after 15 keg party with all of the contests I was awakened at 7:30 am. "Hey Brother your Dad is down stairs to pick you up and go to Breakfast" with his new steady girl Eleanor. I knew she was cool when she had an idea what the frat house looked like and stopped my dad from going in. The great had about 30 "dead" bodies in it including my newly lovaleared girl friend Kim French a KKG sister. I did not think it was the proper way for my new love of my life to meet the parents. By the way we did not last what a shame because she was a very lovely and smart woman. I cannot tell you how we happened to break up but i still blame the Tri Delts and DG's . Fraternity life it is good we grow out of it. But that was the closest I ever really came to getting married, guess she ruined it for me....Expand for more
Just devoted my life to my career as a chef except 6 years as a Trotter and Pacer horse groom and trainer.

So look for me on MSNBC or CNN and be vilified by FOX when card check legislation comes up again I will be the Tennessean in his orange and white colors walking the hallowed halls of congress lobbying. Really did miss spending my senior year with all of you greyhounds.
I always wanted to be a firetruck when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were right.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have patience, love, and big stick to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
