Vincent's Story
What's good Cougar Country....I can't believe its been 20 years since we left the good ole high school....I still remember my first year at Alessandro Middle School and sitting in Mr. Cassette's algebra class, and when we move to the new school, learning french with Ms. Wettlaufer. Mr. Snavley's pants were the talk of the school, and being able to sit and watch those enjoyable pep rallys and seeing the basketball and football players get those treats from the cheerleaders. I still remember sophomore year when I lost out to Stacy Sampson to the last spot on the team. Those were fun days..Seeing clips from youtube of some the new Cougar legends have made it easier to appreciate what type of legacy we have made over the years. Also, the friendships that I made over there have even last longer. But to come back to the old high school will definitely be a treat for me.
The biggest surprise for me has been loving my new life here at verizon communications. I've been here 11 years, and at first I couldn't adjust to the ins and outs of 9-5 work. I just wanted to get a paycheck and go home and be a kid again. Now, or i would say the past couple of years, I've enjoyed my career and look forward to retiring so that my passion for being in the sports community can commence. I hope my friends remember me for the good times we shared especially at lunch. I know the girls will remember me for being too nice a guy and for being very low key.
I always wanted to be a sportscaster when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a crazy idea. As it turns out, they were right.
Nowadays I play with my PS2, and play basketball in many leagues in New Jersey
Actually, Dewayne McDonald, I'm going to kill you for this. For real. During lunches, Dewayne used to stick me in his trunk to get past the officers at the top of the hill because I had no pass to leave school grounds
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have Ipod touch, cell phone, and lapto...Expand for more
p computer to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
Since high school, I moved into a small apartment in Riverside, CA near the UCR campus. Then I moved to NJ to be closer to my mother, and then eventually have my own apartment in Union NJ. I have been there 9 years now, and have plans to buy a home next year, finally.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Rita Perez, because I'd always admired her in sports and still found time to be a very cool person.
Everyone knows me to be a sports nut. i always watched sports no matter what it was. I was a sports encyclopedia for the most part
The biggest surprise has to be working here at Verizon 11 years so far. I was still loving the sports field, and one day I decided to make some changes and fall back with doing the sports world. My aunt gave me a number and I set up a test date and passed the test, and I've been a part of Verizon ever since. The great thing about my career is I don't have to sell products to anyone. I just set up phone orders and place them for the customers. i still plan to get into the sports world but after i retire from verizon
My best friend would tell you I'm very down to earth, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as nerdy.
I wish i could have beaten Curtis Morton in all those one on one games we used to play in his house. Maybe I could have gotten the starting point guard spot before Todd came in.
In 10 years, I hope to be retired. I'm going to get there by saving my money and getting into investing.
Peter Langtry from the 1990 class we clicked from day one, we had coach Cassette algebra class and besides he and Mike Moreno making side jokes all the time, we actual had similar things in common. He's finally achieving some of those goals now that we spoke about when we were younger
Since 2006, I started to grow dreads. I have them down to the top of my back and by reunion time it will probably be further down
