Craig's Story
FInd me on facebook it's free....../cp.williams.524
Be fast becasue Like Locust I only join facebook every 10 years.....
Life
Living in the basement is hard and the heat finally came on the other day...thank God now the toilette flushes. I can't wait till Spring.
I tell everyone that I am a glorified librarian because my job is putting things away where other people can find them! Thanks to Mrs. Rappelle's library research class, I can do that!
Went to the Funeral of Roland Lawrence LaPrise the man who wrote the Hokey Pokey. Took forever to bury the guy, they put his right hand in, the took his right hand out.........
Hey a groan is as good as a laugh.....
School
After I graduated ... I joined a band of Gypsies and traveled through Russia as the amazing bearded guy! I still owe the travel company for food and expenses and I hope to have it paid off with my kidney sale this year. Would have been last year but Ebay screwed up the deal!
I am living in the basement of my parent's house and have a cable access show called 'Geek Talk'. It's about Star Wars, Star Trek and the latest in high-tech computer gear. I have a new line of clothing that I was hoping to release called high water jeans and pants, trying to monopolize on the nostalgia interest in the country but it just hasn't caught on as of yet.
My favorite thing in the whole world......just being alive. Taking a breath and knowing that blessing.....have a laugh take a breath and know that underneath your clothes you are totally naked. At least that is what I am thinking when I look at you!

College
Went to a college once and they asked me to leave. Seems they have a dress policy and I wasn't supposed to wear one. Try to make it at a trade school but I got in trouble for coloring peoples hair without their permission. I like green. Then I tried a correspondence course but before I finished they moved and left me no forwarding address.
I lost most things in the fire but at least I still have my diploma to for the 5th grade Sunday School and Our Lady of Perpetual Agon...Expand for more
y.
I hope to work at McDonald's when I finish my GED.
Workplace
McDonald's is working out fine. I made crew chief in 6 months. I have always dreamed of managing the Dairy Queen across the street but their manager just got hired. He is 18 and I don't think it will be anytime soon before he leaves.
I got a part-time job selling back to back tape for wall to wall carpeting while I was in Wallawalla WA...I did so-so......
I got a great deal on some stock from some company called Enron, I hope it pans out.....
Military
My prayers will be for the men and women trading their time and lives for others. There is no greater sacrifice, you are my heroes I thank you for your service.
I have done my best to help out the military by staying out of it. Unless military school counts. In that case, I really don't want to discuss it anymore.
I remember High School was a bit awkward but there were people who made it fun for me every day. Joyce sat near me in Wallace's class and always had a kind word or a joke thumbs up to her, John Ketchum was the best I miss him he is no longer with us! Band and choir members are true blue folks that hung together we shared great teachers and good music, music was an important part of our lives then. Some of them made friends for life and others just friends that never leave their heart.
It is surprising how little some people change and how much some change. Some of the people at the class reunion were still like I remember them, they never grew up. Stuck in a rut with the same poor judgments same lousy attitude, the same car they drove 30 years ago! There were a few like Scott P who had a great sense of self. I have great respect for Scott, thanks to Scott I feel blessed to have met you all over again.
If you get a chance to attend your class reunion, make sure that you understand that it is not like it used to be. In some way it is far worse than you can imagine and in other ways it is far better than you can hope for. It is up to you to see the difference and be the part that people want to enjoy.
