Bill Klausman:  

Just when things were getting good at Washington High(football, Track, music, drama and social stuff), I transferred to Reynolds at the start of our Junior year. I sure did miss my old Colonial friends. Surprise, though, Reynolds High was a great highlight in my school career--3 grade schools and 2 (almost 3) high schools. . .bummer.

After graduation, I went into the Coast Guard, then into Portlnd State where I graduated in 1966. Among other things, I spent 30+ years in the Law Enforcement and Intelligence Communities, which was the basis for my book on Corporate Espionage--"The Amacon Cover." (google Bill Klausman for my site). I even ran for Multnomah County Commissioner in the eighties. Good thing I didn't win!! My folk singing group "River City Ramblers" began in 1960 (google River City Rambers for the site), then after a short jaunt with "The New Christy Minstrels" in 1975, I returned back to the Ramblers and we're still performing today. (yeah yeah, I know, who wants to see an old fart playing and singing folk and blue grass?)
