Joe's Story
I attended Bay High for my Freshman and Sophomore years of high school but relocated in 1976. I attended Roswell H.S. in Georgia for my Junior year and part of my senior year then relocated again during my Senior year to Greenwood, Indiana where I graduated from Whiteland H.S. in 1978. Yes, it sucked to leave Bay High - I really enjoyed living there and has some very good friends that I hated to leave behind.
After high school I attended Purdue University but did not do well in school. After a couple years I joined the Army. After the Army I went back to school at the University of Cincinnati where I got my bachelors degree in Information Systems and began my career in the computer field, which is what I'm still doing today.
I met my wife in 1984 - she was born and raised in Cincinnati and went to MIami University. We were married in 1988. We had our first child, Claire, in 1992 and our son, Reid, in 1994. We moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan in 19...Expand for more
94 and have been in the same house since then. Claire has graduated high school and is going to Wales for college. Reid is going into his sophomore year in high school.
Outside of work and family I picked up a musical hobby back in 2001 where I began playing bass guitar. Our band released two CDs of original music but now we just play cover songs at local clubs. It is great fun and a wonderful diversion from the everyday stress of work and home life. Just this last year I purchased a motorcycle and I've been enjoying that quite a bit lately. I've remained active with sports doing swimming, golf, softball and biking.
Although I did not graduate from Bay High there is no question that I consider it my high school. I've considered going back for a high school reunion but always thought it would be awkward having not graduated from there. So here I am after all these years hoping to reconnect with some of my old friends. Better late than never.
