Robert's Story
Funny, how time flies. I really haven't thought about high school much except for maybe 5 friends in which I've kept in contact with. We also wound up going to the same college so the connection is more than just high school. I wasn't a very popular guy, in fact looking back I would probably consider myself a bit of a loner.
