Brian's Story
Now here is a story you might find very interesting!!
A couple years ago my wife Emily and I were on a Tauck Tour and we met a gentlemen who was a high school teacher at Corfu when our class was there. He of course remembered Mr Lane, Miss Mancuso etc. We had conversations throughout the trip. I don't feel comfortable telling his name for reasons you will find interesting. It seems the gentleman was in hiding at Corfu high school. He had been in the army and was involved in clandestine drug operations in Columbia. He was discovered by the drug cartels and managed to escape back to the USA.
He evidently found a place to hide out for several years in WNY. I didn't ask him if our principal, Mr Lane, knew the story. I should have!! Anyway the gentleman has had quite a career, speaks several languages, has a PhD and law degree. I don't remember when he left Corfu high school but it was after we graduated. Whatya think about those apples? lol.

w a little about me. Graduated from Syracuse with a chemical engineering degree in 1964 and worked as a research chemical engineer with Allied Chemical in Buffalo until 1966. Started an MBA degree at the Univ. of Maryland with my local draft board at my heels. Was fortunate to be commissioned an officer in the US Public Health Service and fulfilled by military obligation after two years as a research engineer in Cincinnati with National Air Pollution Control Administration. Met my wife in Cincinnati and we have 2 sons. I continued with the Environmental Protection Agency and gradually moved South with stints in Durham, NC and finally Atlanta, GA where I retired in 1998.
