Anthony Stephenson:  

I'd be surprised if you remembered me because most would not since I was quiet and not the popular type. There were a few that I hung out with in school, at school... not really friends, just classmates. I was pretty much a loner, so I would also be surprised if anyone called me a friend. Sad, huh? Not really, cuz that's just the way it was and the way I am. Don't get me wrong, I did have some friends and a couple I still have today.

California tech industry was flooded at that time and I could not keep up with costs or competition. I was going back and forth to Nevada for personal vacations and scouting for business opportunity to see if I could make a change for the better. During all of this I always kept/held a job, never got fired, and most of the time had two jobs at a time regardless of my situation or past. I've been in many different fields: management, manufacturing, construction, and computer... so I am extremely handy and might be considered a "Ja...Expand for more
