Beau's Story
Although I am now (as I have been for the last 33 years) called "Beau" Schutz, back at WHS, Belt, or Connecticut Park Elem., You may have known me as "Bernie" Schutz. I presently live in Tel Aviv, Israel, where I own and operate a small but successful and busy computer consulting / IT Support business called Israel's PC Doctor.
Well, I must say, circumstances have certainly changed significantly for me in my life, since back in the old Montgomery County school daze. All my wild and crazy days and my delinquent ways are well and far behind me now, and I've (FINALLY) grown up (at least somewhat) and settled down.
In the interlude between WHS and the present, I've traveled the world extensively, learned to speak four other languages (besides English), and in addition to having served in an elite unit of the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) - Sayeret Matkal, the unit that executed the "Raid on Entebbe", I have worked in numerous crafts and trades (including masonry, roofing, electrical, carpentry, etc.), acquired degrees in Business Administration & Management, Legal Research & Support (Certified Florida Paralegal), Computer Science, as well as the following professional computer technology-related certifications:
Microsoft Certified Professional
Microsoft Certified Network Administrator
COMPTIA (Computer Technology International Association) Network Plus Professional
COMPTIA (Computer Technology International Association) A-Plus Certified Computer Repair Technician
Novell Certified Network Administrator
Throughout my journey, although I have, on more than one occasion, come incredibly near to entering into the matrimonial state, for bet...Expand for more
ter or for worse, it somehow has never quite happened - as they say, "a rolling stone gathers no moss", and a rolling stone I have certainly been. So although I've just recently come out of a 5-year committed relationship, this one didn't quite make the cut, and I'm still single and on my own - a lifestyle to which I've actually become quite well-accustomed (still open to meeting that "right" woman - if such a thing exists).
I'm also an ardent devotee of healthful living, fitness, whole foods, and good natural nutrition.
And of course, when I'm not busy solving people's computer problems or preparing healthy, natural cuisine, my principal diversion and avocation is playing jazz & blues flute, sax, and percussion at the many clubs to be found here in the Tel Aviv area and along the beautiful Mediterranean seacoast.
Meanwhile, although I'm way over here on the other side of the world, I still do try and keep in touch with a lot of my old friends, particularly thru facebook and an internet (Yahoo) group called the GlenmontHeads
I also helped organize and came back to the U.S. to attend the WHS Class of '72 30-year reunion in 2002, and I'm hoping to make it to our 40-year in a couple more years.
I hope that all the rest of the WHS alumni are happy, healthy and doing well, and I would really enjoy hearing from any of you out there. You can get in touch with me at beau1 "at" techie "dot" com and my website is at W W W "dot" israelpcdoctor "dot" com
Here's wishing abundant health, happiness, peace, and prosperity to you and all of yours, and greetings from the only democracy in the Middle East.
Best regards,
Beau (Bernie) Schutz
