George's Story
Life
Long time everyone!
Its been 25 years since HS. Still remember the days too. Guess we can call them the good old days when we were all young, wild and free.
Graduated in 198something Âcontrary to popular belief.
Went to Union County College ÂAssociates Degree, 2.0 gpa (just made it)
Went to Kean College ÂB.Sc. Double major Economics and Marketing (3.2 gpa)
Went to ULV Ca ÂMBA IntÂl Management (4.0 gpa; finally got serious about education)
1st job out of grad school was with Coke Cola IntÂl Âtraveled the world --it was awesome for my time and age, and what I always wanted to do; travel the world.
Then worked for Unilever Frozen Foods (The ÂGood Humor Ice cream company as it is popularly known to many) Still traveling the world.
Lived in 22 different countries and finally got home sick.
Returned to USA some eight years later and worked for Pepsi ÂWorld Trade Center office.
Still had a love for Âmusic and made mid-life career change. Owned and operated the ÂFlood ZoneÂ, Richmond, VA. Best days of my life. Really did what I wanted to do in music industry. Five years later realized the music industry not conducive to a ÂfamilyÂ, so, went back to corporate world (but would do it all over again given same time and circumstances.
Then entered Corporate recruiting field and became a head-hunter for a few Fortune 500 firms.
Parallel, got married to one awesome girl; two kids, two cats, dog and a house in East Brunswick, NJ.
Lastly (today) own and operate my own sta...Expand for more
ffing firm (WinsorStaffing). Opened office in NJ, NY and MD.
I HAVE NOT CHANGED!!! Still a joker, wise ass smart aleck, rebel for a cause, and they tell me I am one great boss too! Life is good and I try to make it better for those with me on this journey.
Still remember my HS sweetheart ÂTrisha Blaney, but canÂt find her. Triiiiiish, where are you ???
PS: many of my HS friends passed away. A reminder to how fragile life can really be and what it means to make the best of it every day.
Rest in peace: Charles ÂChuck Sheldrake (murdered), Allen Goodyear (heroin OD), Christopher McCawen (Murdered), Larry King (AIDS), John Magnotti (Car accident). Always in my memories. See you in the next world.
Hope to hear from the rest of you some day Âreally do.

DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN:
Yes, in many ways but less pot/drugs and more books would be wise. Would have also concentrated in music; 25 years later and still study it. Never would have broke up with Trish when I was 10 --big big mistake!
