on and the good times there are never forgotten. Working in DT Philly and partying at the Jersey Shore were quite an experience at 19. My experiences from 1970 - 1975 offered experiences that molded my character and work ethic for the future.
Returned to KC in the mid 70's and enjoyed many enjoyable years living at the Country Club Plaza and Crown Center.
Started business from scratch with just $2000 capital in 1982. Am eternally very grateful to a lot of people who helped me in the endeavor, especially my Mom and Dad. I miss them greatly.
Looking forward tremendously to reunions in Independence and Jackson. Let's try to get the FB coaches and more teachers there this time!
Also would like to see more life profiles of more friends from the past.
Come on gang, open up and share!
