Jeffrey's Story
Life
I have been married (and divorced)3 times, and currently have lived with Paula and her sons for 5 years. My first marriage at 22 only lasted a year and a half. We had kind of rushed into it and when we moved from KC to Indianapolis, we found that we didn't have much in common. My second marriage to Suzanne also didn't last long, although we had been together for over 2 years prior to the actual ceremony. I let work ad other issues get in the way . My 3rd marriage lasted 5 years before Kelly left to return to Michigan. I can't take the blame on that one. I met Paula about 10 years ago and we've been together now for 9 and it is great. Marriage is not currently an option, for many reasons, almost all of them money, but we are happy. My daughter Alora will be 16 in February and lives with her mom outside Detroit. I have had my ups and downs, but things are going very well now. I am on the Raymore City Council, and act as Race's den leader. I'm also a Past Master with the Masonic Lodge and I'm active in Kiwanis and the Chamber of Commerce. Paula and I are season ticket holders to the Kansas City T-Bones minor league baseball team and really enjoy going to those games. We recommend it as great family fun.
I kind of fell in to setting up the 20 year reunion and had a great time doing it ...Expand for more
and getting reacquainted with everyone, so I plan to keep on updating things and maintaining our records so that we can all stay in touch.

Interesting questions they ask on this bio. I don't think I should mention my biggest crush, cause she's married and is in this class and after all these years, I'm sure I'd still be embarrassed to tell her. I was always too shy to mention it through Ervin and Hickman. But it was great to see her at the 20 year reunion.
My favorite teacher was probably Mr. Stathos, not that he necessarily inspired me, but because his classes were so much fun. I had my problems with a few teachers through the years, but most of them were pretty good.
I spent 2 years at UMKC after high school, then moved on to finish at National-Louis University in DC when I lived out there. I completed my Masters last year from University of Phoenix-Online, which was basically me honoring a commitment I made to myself after finishing my undergrad.
The funniest memory from high school I have, and there were plenty, was when my pants split while directing the band at homecoming our senior year. Mom had to go get another pair of pants before halftime, since mine had ripped during the pre-game show. I don't even remember being embarrassed by it at the time - I still thought it was funny.
