Chris's Story
First of all I really enjoyed High School. It's strange to think that historically it was a time of great race strife. I actually got knifed in the bathroom by a fellow team mate on the football team, and gassed and narrowly avoided being bitten by attack dogs at a Butler BB game. Oh well, things have gotten a little better in that department. (It took me a while to figure out how much Conridge help resove tensions at Lee)
Good life. Thought I was watching my life when I saw Forrest Gump. As a child I live anfew mile from the house in the movie (Greenbo)Met the Kennedy's, knew George Wallace well. Knew the Bear well, was drafted but missed Vietnam by two weeks.
Have had a wild ride. Opened a P.C. Computer business immedatly after H.S. ans sold 4 P.C;s in 1 1/2 years. Opened a Solar Shop next and franchised 305 store before selling. Worked at Handy Dan and reported to the two guys that left to start Home Depot. I built the first store. The stock split 6 for 1 3 times a year for five years! Became good friends with Sam Walton in 1980 just before his IPO. He offerred me a job but I turned it down (would have been worth 10 million more in 6 moths!!) Have been in Healthcare informatics for 18 years. Got in too early but is going great since the incentive package last Feb. In process of selling Insight Medical Solutions Will stay in the business doing cons...Expand for more
