Mark's Story
I have no idea how many of you will remember me. I was sort of a non-person in highschool. Band was my favorite subject where I got to play the trumpet for Mr. Wiley. Poor guy never did learn how to spell the name WYLIE correctly.
After highschool I attended East Texas Baptist College which is now East Texas Baptist University. While in school I got married and over the next few years we had two children.
Not a lot of point of going into the details, but after 30 plus years of marriage we divorced.
One day I was sitting at my computer and a message popped up from Pam via Classmates. She asked if I was the same Mark she had known in high school.

Before you gasp and think I've gone off the deep end, I'm not one of those old men whose house is full of animals, scat and stink. Pam and I raise and show American Staffordshire Terriers at AKC sanctioned events. We have several dogs with AKC points and have one finished AKC champion. If you wonder what an American Staffordshire Terrier is, take a look at my posted pictures. The males run about 75 pounds.
I'd love to catch up with old classmates and shot the breeze about old times, cuss the current situation and share dreams about the future.
Come on, talk to me - as the Moody Blues once said, "I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE!"
Pax!
