Richard's Story
Hi, everyone.
"Loyal Sons and Daughters Are We.."
Do you remember me?
Who could forget!
You were either looking up to me (6'2" and 125 lbs) or chasing after me down the halls.
Now, there was only one girl I wanted to chase after me (J.S.) so everybody else was wanting to punch me out. I was a tall, skinny and funny kid who couldn't punch but watch out if I made you the punchline!
Yes, indeed, good ol' St. Anthony Village High School.
"Honor...to...our blue and white..."
Home of the "Fighting Huskies"...how appropriate, except I was not husky and didn't know how to fight (until I got married briefly in the early 80's).
Served time there, except summers, from 1969-1975.
Or perhaps you knew my brother Jon or sister Paula?
After VHS your favorite "Bird Man" attended these fine colleges:
University of Minnesota 1975-1976;
Minnesota School of Business 1976-1977;
Bemidji State University 1977-1978.
Current Employment:
2000-present: General Manager of two health food stores in Ohio. (Ohio? The Buckeyes? Yeah, but I'm still a "Golden Gopher," which kinda explains that left front slight buck tooth.)
1987-present: Researcher and published author on the Mayan calendar. "Mayan Calendar Guidebook" by Rich Eagle (1996, Sacred Earth Publishing). Sold 5,000 copies. Not bad. See what working on the VHS school paper for a month can do for a person later in life!
2009-present: Editor of MayanCalendar4u on line man where you can go to learn more about my 23-year hobby. No, not that one. I gave up pot back in, um, I can't remember...catch my drift on twit ter...2012RichEagle
And I was just interviewed for about 8 minut...Expand for more
es Nov. 18, 2009 on the world's largest late night radio show...Coast-to-Coast AM. (You can hear it on my website.) 5-10 million people heard me yak on about my unusual 1989 experience at Blue Mound State Park near Luverne, MN which will soon be published in George Noory's book, the host of the show.
Question...Does this qualify me as an "almost famous" alumni? Gee, now I can actually attend a reunion, if any of the class of '75 is still alive, and everyone can all gather 'round me and hit me up for a loan, or just hit me...and I will try to keep from chuckling at all the bald heads and sagging boobs, and...Ouch! Hey, why is everyone hobbling after me?
Age...don't ya love it! Have ya got your AARP card yet, people?
We're all grown up, and out, now in many ways yet haven't hopefully given up our humorous side.
One should know by now that:..a good laugh is Good for the...Soul.
So, a young Spiritual Initiate walks up to a wise old hot dog cart Vendor and says, "Make me one with everything!" and hands over a 20 dollar bill. The Vendor puts the 20 dollar bill in a drawer then silently makes him one with everything. The Spiritual Initiate eats the meal but then says, "Heh?! Where's my change?" And the wise old Vendor replies quietly, "Change only comes from within."
And remember what Henry Miller once kinda said..."If you have not found Heaven within yourself, certainly you will not find it outside yourself."
Chew on both of those nuggets, Husky!
Thanks for stopping by. Really. And, please, drop me a line. A laugh line.
"...Huskies, Huskies...VHS!"
Peace and Love, and there, with the Grace of God, go I.
