Jason Perkins:  

As a quiet well balanced young man in general. A guy that was very serious and never got into any kind of substance abuse and loved to participate in Track and Basketball. I can honestly say I have never been drunk, taken illegal drugs or been a smoker. Heck I do not even drink tea or coffee. I always wanted to be an airplane pilot when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was not a realistic goal as I have poor eyesight and Pilots need 20/20 vision. As it turns out, they were right. Instead I pilot a 75 foot long, 8 1/2 foot wide 18 wheeler down the highways and byways of the USA. The wildest thing I ever did in high school was participating in the dance-a-thon with Eleanor Littlefield in my Junior year. We stayed up all night dancing but went home early after going to basketball practice. We had a great time and helped raise money for the senior class. I have lived in Worcester Ma, Belfast Me, Portland Me, New Bloomfield Pa, and now in Duncannon Pa. I guess I am obsessed with the computer. Whether it be games, discussion forums, or keeping in touch with friends and family I use it regularly. Other than that I guess I am a workaholic. I do not believe the government will take care of me in my declining years so I must work hard now and invest as much money as I can now for my own retirement. I guess I did not expect to be married as long as I have been. I kind of expected Kim to divorce me before now due to me being gone for weeks at a time. I married Kim Edson back in August of 1989, bless her heart, she has been tolerant, understanding, and supportive every step of the way. I have learned from my kids that they are very needy and the more I give them the more they expect. Regrettably my daughters have not had a hard life and therefore they do not know the meaning of hard work or overcoming adversity. I believe they will have much hardship in the future when they can no longer rely on me. Mr Vaughan was my algebra teacher. He was a kind and patient man as well as a good chess player. I enjoyed our games after class. Well, If I won 100 million dollars I would look to my friends and family and offer monetary gifts to each to help them out. Anyone who was ever decent or kind to me would be remembered. Other than that I think building a rec center for local teenagers would provide a safe alternative to hanging out on the street corners. I would have a basketball court, and a couple of swimming pools in door designed for young kids and older ones. Make it family friendly with an exercise room, private showers, a snack area, maybe even a roller skating rink that could be used for dances once a week as well. A small movie theater for 2nd run movies would be cool too. I would provide a scholarship fund for underprivileged kids wanting to play sports in Belfast but could not afford the proper shoes. It would be administered by the athletic director at BAHS. The rest I would invest and save. Perhaps travel the world for a while using only the interest from savings and investments to travel so I could leave the principal alone. To be truly happy I would be financially independent. I would surround myself with my close friends and share my fortune. I would travel all over the world enjoying the different cultures, sights, sounds, smells, and food. My current age is 39. I have seen most of the United States from the cab of a truck and hope to travel the world before I die. If not with my current wife then with a suitable companion. Her health issues lead me to believe I may be finishing my journey without her but for now I will enjoy her company. I work hard so that I may have a comfortable retirement. I am counting on living a long time and living costs money. Learning to live below my means has become second nature. Now that my children are pretty much grown I believe I will be able to max out my 401k contributions each year within the next 3 years. Hmmm my first crush had to be Vicky Talbot. She was a red headed girl from Elementary school and very cute. Of course I was very shy and did not know how to relate to girls at such an early age so I made a mess out of it and became the butt of many jokes and teasing from my classmates. I learned to hide my feelings for fear of rejection. Of course I am beyond that point now and can relate to women very easily. I enjoy their company and try to be witty and funny which seems to be the key to becoming friends. ...Expand for more
