Norman's Story

My Life,My World;According to Norm Baldasaro,Jr. Hello Classmates of 1972 & 1973/MHS/Men & Women! I think that if I can make it to my 35th Reunion,it might be a lot of fun this Fall,2008...but that all depends who wants to pick me & bring me?????? What I think might surprise everyone might be that dispite being told by some of Mel-High's Finest Women,that I would make a Terrific,Husband & Dad that after all these years I haven't been able to hook up with the right Gal!meanwhile I'm single,6yrs this Oct-08 so dont be shy,Suzanne,C., u can find me on msnas USMCNH1 ok Love.Norm I suppose the only teacher's I could relate to, hung in pairs,such as;Tony LaRosa & Mr. Bruno,Frank Ball & Mr.Bean,Tom Daley & Artie Blanchard & "Doc",Morrison,Tom Humphrey's & Kathy Clinton,Bob Gumbleton & his side-kick,Mr.Hughs'??? But for the most part,I enjoyed,Our Home Room class the most!I treid to Respect all the Educators at Mel High,as best I knew how back then,they were all very unique people as we all are! I should have graduted in the class of 1972 anyways,was kept back in 3rd grad at Bebee School!,Ms.Shinner & Ms. Pendleton,Ms.Stewert ruled with,"Iron Fist's!" The wildest thing I did in school,had to do with Earl Beshone,he thought he was a tough-guy & threatend to kick my _ss,so he took me into the Boiler room,that was his mistake,I ended up dragging him to Mr.Dixon's Office,(my freshman year),I told Mr.D of his intentions & excused myself for the remainder of the day,went home,told my Mother what had occured...I got jacked-up by Tony La Rosa once as a Freshman in the Hallway,& told never to let him find out I was in trouble with anyone throughout my whole 4 years at Mel High,or he'd have my _ss! My 1st big crush was on Suzanne Carlucci,come to find out she was the Cousin to a girl who had a crush on me,Teresa Robinson,what a shame!I tried to maintain,good relationships with those I considered friend's throughout High School admiring but never dating many of the girls I liked,or who liked me,like Doreen B. 1 & 2/Donna Petto,she consumed me at one point,but Trifon M. & I were on the same Baseball team I didn't want trouble,guy's like Him,Jackie Chipman,John Flynn,Joey C. & Tony B.,along with Billy F.,Tommy H.,Andy B.,& Chris W.,were all to compeditive for me to waste my time playing the field so I stuck with Terry R,until I met a Debbie P.,who was older than I by a few years,which made my heart change in the Summer of 72',I only wished I could have married her....God Rest Her Soul! ~~~ + ~~~Kathy S.,became a close friend & inspiration my last year at Mel High.1973, She accompanied me to my Senior Prom,I simply Adored her,but she was 2 yrs.younger than I,D.Shay ended up getting hitched to her!I was bummed to have lost her,and not many knew of Jean P.,My-Maine Girl I met at age 17,but still not many could Trump,Debbie P.,The Balestri Twins came close,as did the Hodgkin & Barns sister's,Sue,M.& Karen M,Kathy K....the rest were grammer school cuties.....enough said!My English Techer; Kathy Clinton was Sweet 2 me when I needed a friend! I hope old friends will remember me as a student who,for the most part had his head screwed on straight,even-though I felt the need to have a relationship with a female,I'd say it was more or less a,Real Bonding Experience in Hopes to find a Good Woman or Future Wife,in fact I would have married at age 16 if I could have & raised a family,but because our generation & culture which shocked our parents with all that,Peace,Free-Love,Sex & Rock & Roll! I was told by one special girl,Cindy,"that I took the road less trav...Expand for more
elled",so now in reflection,"I guess now that I really did!"When I look at people my age I think they look very,very old,while my heart remains feeling, very, very,young! I hope to be remembered for my,"Can-Do Style!,& the compassion & love I had for other's!(Oh ya,my Morris Minor 1000,Orange with it's,"Baby Blue Roof!",which resembled The International House of Pancakes,Free Advertising huh?) I'm writing from,(story idea's here)!To be truly Happy,I would be living on and island off the coast of Maine in Spring and spend Winter's,moored up to the Bahama Islands,living off the Ocean Blue,now in my,(50's pleasure craft,having fun in the Sun with Woman of my dreams,&making love & have our children,never late to start a family,also visiting the coast of Maine,Nova Scotia,Cape Breton Island,New Brunswick,Canada,and who knows from their??? The statement ask's me this;"Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect.Whats been my biggest surprize?" That even if life gives you lemons I have learned how to make,lemonade,my biggest surprize,is the Love & Power I recieve from God Almighty!Since I'm empowered by Faith,all things are possible through Christ who strenghthens me! "Patience is Truly a Virtue,for those who Humble themselves before God,our blessings are recieved!",via of Prayer,Expect that your Prayers will be answered, then go & mind your own business!People may let me down but God has never let me down!he knows my heart & your's! If I get one,"do-over",it would be to have allowed my marriage to have flourished rather than have ended in an early divorce,to have experienced having a full-size family and to be able to enjoy my children & grand-children in the Autumn of my life! The weirdest job I ever had,outside of Screwing on Doll head's at Vogue doll Co.,and Shinning Jelly Beans at Lewis Candy Factory,along with baking candy fortune hearts around Valentines Day,would have to be,Blast Freezing,rotten,old fish & by-products for Mink Food,we shipped to Michigan to feed the little critter's,but the United States Marine Security Job back in 1974,putting huge Posiden Missles on Trident Submarines,at the time seemed pretty dam weird too!Cleaning the Bilge's on the Ship kinda bit the bag too,but being an expert Machine Gunner & Squad Leader,never really allowed me a very good position in civilian life!I did work at the Town meat market,& constructed repelling magnets for Naval Ships & helped to build the GE Ultra-Sound. Where I lived & why did I move?I lived in the City & moved to the Country,because people live in constant pollution,(noise,water,air,mental,physical, spiritual), in the City & since I was raised in the Country,it has always calling me back,to it's Beauty,Freedom & Cleanliness.....in Hopes to add to the longevity of,human life & those whom are a part of my off-spring!Since I do consider myself a,"dying bred", as God has always held me in the Palsm of my hands,I can only pray that His Will be done & not mine,His Blessing's are,no-doubt Greater than anything I can imagine,so why put my Faith in man? He has only hurt me over the years,I can't say much for Woman,she has yet to show me any of her Godliness,except that of my Blessed Mother! As for now,I Hope you like what I've written & expressed,I've always worn my heart on my sleeve for all to see! I've always been a lot like me! Your friend & former Melrose High Student,Norm B.(May God Bless my sister's,Kathleen & Renette!) "Semper Fidelas!" (Always Faithfull!) In God We Trust & Our County!(lower case) USMCNH7 at ya who?OOORRRAAHHHH! Winter's on it's way once again,08.
