Justin's Story
Life
Ronald Reagan said that his life began when he started at Eureka College; the same was true for me when I walked onto the campus of Wilson High School!
I made great friends there; actually they were the first decent people I ever met in my life! When I was thrown out of an abusive foster home, even though I had dropped out of Wilson, all my friends looked after me and did my laundry and had me to dinner when I was staying in the shelters and half-way houses!
I married Liz Eliasson (class of 1983) in 1985; we divorced in '91 and are still great friends. She is happily married with two children. I am now married to a sweet codependent lawyer and am a homemaker with a dog and two cats. We have a six bedroom house in the glorious "changing neighbo...Expand for more

PS about a month ago (June/July '06) my wife Christine was fired from her position at the CIA because she criticized torture on a CIA Intranet blog.
Now Christine is doing work with the indigent elderly as a probate lawyer. I am proud of my brilliant wife!
As you know, I didn't finish high school, so my work options were more limited. I was a typist for the Washington Post for most of my thirties, and now I am a dogwalker days, and I do catering a few nights a week.
I am still close to a few Wilson classmates, my ex Liz and also Fielding Dupuy and Nanette Bertaut (who married Fielding's older brother).
I guess all I can say now is, live every day as if it were your last, and one day you'll be right!
