Bruce's Story
Even though I didn't graduate from Camelback (graduated from McClintock in Tempe class of 69), I did attend Camelback my freshman year and Lafayette Grade School before that. I know that Lafayette's name had been changed to Kennedy Grade School in tribute to a former principle. I've had several jobs over the years, but mostly enjoyed playing in a top 40 rock band on the road in the early 80's, with a band out of Phoenix called Axsent. After that stint, I wound up in Oklahoma for a couple of years, then ventured to Tennessee where I was for 35 years.
I was playing drums for an all original rock and blues band in Nashville, TN called Brother Rock, where I got studio experience, but unfortunately, as most bands do over time, this one broke up. Next, I started playing with a classic rock band called PlayBack on weekends, and worked a day job while I was still in Nas...Expand for more

I do return to the Phoenix area whenever I can. I'm sorry that I won't be able to contact anyone as I have cancelled my subscription to Classmates.
I proposed to the former Nancy Buddenhagen now Nancy Haven, a Camelback graduate of 1968, while visiting her in her home in Washington State, and she said YES. She was my neighbor in Phoenix back in the early 6o's and we lost touch after my freshman year at Camelback and my family moved to Tempe. After 55 years, we remet on Classmates and started talking on the phone then visited each other and fell in love. I feel so blessed that she came back in my life.
Since that last edit, Nancy and I DID get married on the beach in Honolulu, Hawaii on April 18th of 2022 and are living happily retired in her large log cabin in Washington State. I'm still playing in rock and roll in bands and loving the retired lifestyle.
