Hello Friends !! This page was put together on the 27th of Ramadan, 1444h Ok, here's what happened next.... After FHHS, my path took me to the Academy of Aeronautics, which then landed me a job in Connecticut at a major defense contractor, where I am still employed to this day. For those who knew me, I still have not really changed as far as the person I was back then. I still maintain a B&W 35mm print film darkroom, I still love to paint, and I eventually built a full production recording studio, which I closed after rescuing a very special dog out of a very bad situation. I was also a volunteer firefighter for 12 years, I did wildlife rescue and river clean up work as a volunteer for 8 years, and during that timeframe, I became what one could describe as a very hardcore kayaker and free/skin diver.

I consider April 21st of 1982 to be the one defining moment in my life where everything changed after I was wheeled out from Bishop Ford CCHS never to return again. While at Ford, my trajectory was one of the arts, with a back up of electronics as a career path, but once I landed at FHHS that all changed, and with hindsight I often wonder if it was for the better. FHHS provided me with the guidance I needed to get the job done, and the classes such as Holocaust Studies deeply affect me to this day, and I am very appreciative that not only was I able to take this class, but that I also made a life long friend with a student I really liked named Delma Caban who I believe sat dire...Expand for more
