Billy's Story
Life
Well, what can I say, I have had a great life, I had the opprotunity to live in Greenville, Tennessee; Auburdale/Lakeland, Florida Fort Lauderdale; Elkhart/South Bend/Mishawaka, Indiana; Dallas, Texas and Boston, Mass.
I have had met a lot of interesting people, my favorites were Madonna, who came to my Hotel were I worked and Doug Flutie who has his wedding reception at my hotel at the Natick Hilton, in Mass.
I have taken the Freedom Trail in Boston, went on the "Old Ironside," ship. Galvalston Beach was nice. I spent some time in Providence, nice place and was near Hyainis Port (JFK) place. I love my time I worked at Notre Dame, having season football tickets was the greatest thing ever to happen to me.
I helped the Seniors in the Nursing Homes, I learn of a lot of histroy from most of them. One had a friend that went down on the TITANIC, that story was awesome!! I am a World War Two nut, I am proud of all of our SOLDIERS.
I never married, but have been in a relationship for over 25 with Tom, I am very happy with my life and I thank God for every moment for my life, for my jobs, my travels and all the people that I have met.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

School
If I had to tell the person that I had a crusch on them, I am not sure how would they react. Because, I had a couple during school and I sometimes wished I had said something, then nothing at all.
So, for me being 48, it too late, they say your too old if your over 21 ha, ha. During school, I may have not been the Hot Greek, Hot Itialian or Hot Irish, but today with age, I came out looking just your average guy, but never got the one person I cared about in school. Thats a secret!!!
So, for God sake, tell the person how you feel, don't wait 10, 20 or 30 years. Take the time you have and enjoy your life, don't let anyone make you feel less or better then someone else.
I enjoyed my time in school and will always cherious those memories..
College
Hey everyone:
I guess if you are reading this, then you have survived the last thirty odd years and my bet gave up partying and began to realize that there is more to life than just parties.
As a student, I missed...Expand for more
those good old days, I even wish that I could return back in time and tell my fellow classmates how I enjoyed being with them.
I really missed the classmates from the Drama, Decca Club, VICA Club and Pep Rally Club and especially NJROTC, it was a blast. Thank God that time gave me better looks today then back in school.
I hope to hear from all classmates from High School and College. Auburndale High/Greenville High/Mishawaka High. I made alot of friends and I miss you all.

Workplace
Well, what can I say, I have had a great life, I had the opprotunity to live on Dallas, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, /Mishawaka/South Bend/Elkhart and Bradenton, Florida. I had a fab career in the Hospitality Industry, the Hospitals and in the Education School District. Who said the janitors could not make it, well I was in Management. Started in the Environmental Housekeeping, went to General Manager, then back to a Director of Enviromental Services, to a Rooms Division Manager/Assistant G.M. I was lucky enough to meet celebrities during my time in the Hospitality Field. When I worked in the Hospitals, I even got to meet my faviorite Football Coach, Mr. Tom Landry of the Dallas Cowboys. When I went to work in the schools, I had a great time working in the Admininstration Department, running over 15 schools, being responsible for the Custodial Union Staff. My career overlap in Management, but what a great ride I had. So, who said a janitor is nothing, for those who worked in the industry, work hard and you will suceed in sucess that will open roads to other Industries, that over lap. Management is managing people, know matter what the product is. If it is people, buildings, supplies, adminstration paper work, it all the same to me - THE CHALLENGED!!
PS: Check Looking for Someone Discussion out on me as well.
PS: ANYONE SEEN KITTY, SHARON, TIM/TOM FREE, GEORGE SURRY, THE ROTC GROUP OF 76? I HAD A BALL WITH YOUR CLASS, BUT YOU ALL WERE FUN TO BE WITH, CLASS OF 76, I THINK OF YOU AS MUCH AS I DO OF MY OWN CLASS OF 78...
