Daniel's Story
Firstly ...I think ALL should go to Facebook dot com. We have all hooked up with so many from LaSierra, and , it's free. Facebook is the BOMB!! You will be surprised!! So I will probably not be posting more on this site. But, if you must, read on... So, a skeleton walks into a bar and says to the bartender "Gimme a pitcher of beer and a mop."
We really should discuss this over cocktails. I actually did three minutes at the Comedy Store ...twice. That was back in '89. My 'then' photo is actually just prior to our ten year reunion in '88. Much has happened over the years... marraige, divorce, grand kids, etc... I ended up becoming a skilled cabinetmaker/master finisher. I loved my work!.
I dated a few women that I went to school with at LSHS, (after my divorce in '84). One turned out to be a druggie, and the other...well, lets just say 'neurotic' would be putting it mildly. I suppose I'm just not meant to be with women.
Anyway, because of high blood pressure I ended up needing a kidney transplant (diagnosed with renal failure March, 2002) and my sister Erin stepped up to give me one of hers in July 2007. 5 1/2 years of dialysis has taken it's toll, But I am back to 100% and am back in school going for a bachelors in speech pathology.
Sooo...don't be a stranger. I can be contacted at
dnnydffy at america online(it's SO lame that classmates wont let us post e-mail addresses as we would enter them)...Anyway,check out my AIM page and see the photo I've posted of me in drag. ;) Now THAT was a party for the ages! Take care and check your blood pressure often!!

7/30/08 As Einstein said , "One thing I have learned in a long life: All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet it is the most precious thing we have. "

10/26/08 Hey all, wassup? Fall semester is almost over. I just haven't had much enthusiasm this semester. Everything is going well with the new kidney. It sure is nice making contact with folks I went to school with. Sandy even sent me a message. I hope all of you have a great Turkey Day! I myself have much to be thankfull for.
Best,
Danny
1/17/09 Well, here comes the spring semester. Only taking nine units this time around. Had a close call with Brian this week. The guy who rents a room here in my house decided to plant his holiday poinsettas in the back yard with out my permission and Brian ate some. Rushed him to the vet and, several hundred dollars later, we had caught it in time (the flowers had poisoned him). Took a few days of shoving meds down his throught, but he is fine now.
best to all,
Danny
Spring '09 Oh this has been a pleasure! NOT! They need to put in the ...well the book that you use to choose your classes...that the class will cost X amount of dollars to complete. They don't tell ya' that the class will cost a hundred bucks or so for the materials and shtuff. Bummer. Anyway, go to Facebook dot com to REALLY get in touch with classmates for FREE!!!! And, JOIN MY MAFIA!!!!(it's a game on facebook and is very addictive) Luv Y'all, Danny
