Mike's Story

Life Hey, what's up? If you're checking my bio, I probably haven't seen or heard from you in years! Hope this finds you well. I'm doing pretty good for a 43 year old guy! I've been married to my wife, Carol (formerly Rizzi, T.T.H.S. Class of '81) for 21 years, and we have a 14 year old son named Bill, who is an awesome baseball player, and my fishing partner. We lived in Dolton when we were first married, moved to Riverdale, and now have lived in Dyer for the last 9 years. And, I, the dog person that I am, have buckled under the relentless pressure of my wife, and have two cats, Phil and Lil. Stupey and Dupey. I am a production co-ordinator and estimator for Digital Printworks, a commercial printer in Merrillville. It's amazing how many hours you put in when you're salary! Stressful, but I thrive on it. When I'm not working, which isn't nearly often enough, I'm carting my son to baseball practice with his travelling team, hitting with his hitting coach, and pitching with his pitching coach. More than anything, though, I've really gotten into fishing, both for enjoyment and relaxation with my son and my Dad, ...Expand for more
and also competitively in tournaments. I also really enjoy playing guitar, which I did for over 10 years in working band, and working on music at home. Who knows, maybe someday I'll try the band thing again. Wow, do I ramble, or what? I really haven't changed a whole lot, lost some weight, put some back on, lost it again. I'm still the same fun guy with the same great sense of humor, but I think I've definitely mellowed with age. I've learned how many is too many! It just got to be too hard to get up the next morning, or worse yet, just stay up! But, that was years ago........ Looking at the lists of names from Lincoln Elementary and Junior High, as well as Thornton, really bring back some memories for me. You, too? People you've wondered about, people that you just don't realize you've missed for years, but you've gotten so caught up in your life, and you've let so much time slip by, that you end up losing touch with people that, at one time, were very important to you. I'd love to hear from you, hopefully you're not as long winded as I am! Drop me a line! Mike
