Raffi's Story
I ATTENDED THOMAS K. FINLETTER ELEMENTARY FROM 80-83. AFTER WHICH MY FAMILY AND I MOVED YET AGAIN TO THE WEST COAST. I HAVE SOME WONDERFUL MEMORIES FROM THAT ERA OF TIME GROWING UP AND BECOMING FRIENDS WITH BILLY O'NEIL BILL SALZBURY, I HOPE I SPELLED HIS LAST NAME CORRECTLY. WE USED TO PLAY INDOOR SOCCER IN THE GYM, PLAY KICKBALL OUTSIDE DURING LUNCH TIME AND AFTER SCHOOL MAKE IT TO THE BALL PARK TO WATCH BILLY O'NEIL AND BILL S PLAY BASEBALL. IN CLASS, I WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A CLOWN AND WE HAD FORMED A BAND CALLED THE WHAT..LOL OHH, WE WERE YOUNG ONCE I GUESS. I DID HAVE A FEW CRUSHES BACK THEN AND ONE OF THEM WAS ON JANINE L. SHE WAS SO NICE TO ME AND THE REST OF THE CLAS...Expand for more
S. I EVEN THINK THEN AND NOW SHE'S LEFT HANDED:)
AFTER LEAVING PA, WE DROVE FOR 5 DAYS ACROSS THE U.S AND ENDED UP IN THE SUBURBS OF LOS ANGELES WHERE I FINISHED UP HIGH SCHOOL AND WENT TO THE U.S NAVY FOR 7 YEARS. I AM NOW AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO MY WIFE RITA SINCE 94' AND HAVE TWO HANDSOME SONS. I ENDED UP PLAYING THE DRUMS AND PLAYED IN A RUSH TRIBUTE BAND AND IN BRESS WITH TWO OF THE BAND MEMBERS ARE FROM PHILLY. I AM A DIE-HARD PHILLY SPORTS FAN AND LOVE WATCHING THE EAGLES, FLYERS AND PHILLIES PLAY. I HAVE A TON OF PICS WITH THE FLYERS PLAYERS BACK IN THE 90'S. I CURRENTLY WORK AS A SURGERY ASSIST(TECH) AND LOVE WHAT I DO AND HAVE A PASSION TO HELP OUT PEOPLE IN NEED.
