Bobby's Story
I always said I'd write my own memories....Damn, do I have alot of them.
Hey all - Bobby Gannon here. My mug shot is from a family outing up to Fenway Park.
Chilling still in Sterling, but moved up the "to the east side" the other side of RT7 from the Park that is......WOOHOO!!! And Mom never thought I'd do anything with my life.
Let's see....Outta HS - married HS sweet heart, couple degrees from NOVA, degree from GMU, bought a house or two in Sterling, couple kids, played hard, worked hard, studied well not so hard it was NOVA/GMU!! :) Worked my ass off - And it's 20 years later, and you are FRICKING 40 YEARS OLD (now 41). WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??
41 - house, married 19 years to Noreen, son 14, daughter 10, great family, great friends, tight group of boys that I hang with...Mortgage, bills, upcoming college expenses, 401k down the shitter...they don't TEACH YOU ALL THIS STUFF! IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! Mrs. Glod, Mrs. Baker, Mr. Simms...where is all THIS KNOWLEDGE?? NO, we have to read another sonnet by Voltaire?? - Give me a break!!
But le...Expand for more
t's see - still talk to some of the Dickenson Avenue Gang, Haman and I still buddies, run into folks as I shuttle off to another kids game, coaching with buddies I grew up with, running into parents who still live in Sterling, Mom G still on Dickenson, Mr G sadly passed in 1997 and I still miss the old man, finding myself reading obituaries to see who else passed from our class or who's parents I know. Shame we lost some good folks, and some WAY too fricking young.
Wonder who's "made it big"? Who's living the dream? Who is living on the streets? Stop and go - whatever happened to......I have a list of names in my head!
Still have pictures from HS - proms, first day of senior year in limo going thru drive thru, thin ties and parachute pants (a fashion come back), senior court, home room, short skirts and low blouses (that would be Jason Fowler dressed as a girl - UGH!!) , Spirit Days, sad days, Pep Ralleys, Girlfriends, and Girl Friends....Sterling Pizza, Sterling Park Hardware, Community Bank.....ah - those were the days.
Peace -
Bobby G.
