Charles's Story
School
I don't know about anyone else but for what it is worth Rancho was a blast. I was a C- student because I didn't do my homework but at the comm college I was Pres. of the Honor Society. I guess having to pay for school makes a difference. I often think of Coach Frank Nails. He was one of the most inspirational men I have ever met. It took a Marine Corps Capt. for me to meet his equal. I often think of all wonderful friends and aquaintences but one I feel I owe amends to is Sandy Marks. I wish I would have been a better friend. I know we have all changed and I can only say I hope today I am a better man.
As some of you know Norma Riojas and I had a child who is now 40 and is an awesome son and father, I love him...Expand for more
dearly. One of my favorite experiences was to work at a cattle ranch in Utah as a counselor for a youth program. The best part was to ride the high country during fall roundup. Sights and wildlife that makes you glad to be alive. The other was to buy my first horse, a Russian Arabian, Chestnut gelding. the closest you will get to a dirt bike with four legs. The ultimate off road vehicle. We rode and wrangled for a couple of years out at Bonnie Springs Old Nevada takiing international tourists out to find mustangs in the desert, it was a blast while it lasted. I'm now in Spokane WA working on my next big adventure and enjoying a four season climate. Nope all is well with you who visit. Stop and say howdy if you can.
