Remember me in high school? I was in the three available plays (Lil' Abner, Bye Bye Birdie, Oliver). I got 4th place in the state in wrestling senior year. I worked at Ponderosa during the last 6 months of senior year in work-study. I took every science and math course available and was an alternate on the Quiz Bowl team. When I graduated, I wanted to be an engineer. I settled for a tenured professorship.
