Grade School Favorite teacher: Mrs. Hardimann
HS Favorite teacher: That hot biology teacher?? Can't remember her name - Mrs. O'Neil or something. I had a crush on her too and many detensions...
Funniest Memory:
Grade School: Ed Fee losing his homework out Mrs. Hardimann's window
High School: Pat Kramer, Adam Godoy and I spending 1 week together for Senior week in OC - Jim Horsely getting busted for bringing in the newspaper box from the street - I think it was Horse?
Craziest Memory:
Grade School: Our entire 7th grade class putting Tim Colon an eigth grader in the intensive care during a game of "Kill the man with the football" - he was not participating willingly.
High School: That freshman year party with Mike Cataline and Kim Wright at Murphy's house - I just remember passing out and then my Mom kicking my ass outside the house, while Cataline and Wright stood watching in delight.
Happiest Memory:
Grade School: Wednesday afternoon (1/2 day) football games at Craig Gardinia and Lisa Hollowell's house and then the moped rides over to Nick's Pizzeria for a pizza turnover
High School: Senior Year ...Expand for more
football season with all its ups and downs - returning a kick-off against Willingboro under the lights, making the block that sprung Chris Williams free for the kick-off return for a TD against CHEROKEE (my hometown school)!!! To this day Greg Harvey hasn't forgiven me - he takes it out every Turkey Bowl we play in Marlton - Arrowhead rules!!! And the long catch - Lenape JV game against their JV coach Bucky Mitchell my old swimming coach.
That is all for now....
College
Freshman year: Sucked - I was a commuter, but I did play Rugby
Sophomore year: Mike Calliman was the best. He liked his Alabama Slammers, 4 foot b**g, YES, Floyd, and *MASH*. He was a cool dude that just loved life and all its surprises. Yo Mike, if your ever here - shoot me a message.
Pre-Junior Year: Arron, Ed and gang (Temple Law School students). The loft apartment on 9th and Lombard was too much, it was my worst year academically. And they were supposed to be studying for their BAR Exams?? Great group of roomies!
Junior/Senior Year: Jake Z., Kevin C., Barb C., Wolfgang, Holger and Amy. What a rapscallion bunch. This lot was the best. Wolfy could drink anyone under the table, Jake and Barb were the perfect couple - sometimes - hehehehe, and Kevin could be an ass sometimes, but he was a cool dude when he wanted be. Holger - well, they all can't be perfect - we needed the money. Amy, well she was fluent in 5 languages, and she was good at cleaning things. We needed the money. Met my wife to be with this lot at the DU hangout of Who's on Third?
Just want to send a shout out to all those others, you know who you are - Stevie Eiserman, Jose, Matt Hakim, Vaughn (Thank you for sharing), and BJ - you wild dude you!!
BJ thank you for the God Father weekend - 9 hours of movies and beer, and some more beer. And thanks to your fraternity OX (Theta Ki) for some memorable moments and lets not forget your buddies the Squirrels - DU house band - they rocked!!

No way, I don't succumb to the propaganda. I am reserving my right to defend our country for a real and truthful threat. I am not going to leave my children fatherless for a big fat LIE.
