John's Story

In BVHS I was the track manager and the wrestling manager, along with my friend Leonard Cox. Len and I both also were members of the Lettermen's Club and the Chess Club. Mike Husk and I were known for ditching school in our cars during lunchtime, but Mr. Noe, the vice-principal, was cool about it and never got us in trouble, lol. He also commented how we would "come on the parking lot on two wheels" in our cars, lol. Although I never smoked, I really got a kick out of Mr. Noe's "raids" of the boys' bathroom during break time. He'd bust in the bathroom, the bathroom would be full of smoke, but nobody would be smoking! He was really good natured about it, feigning disappointment and snapping his fingers.

We lived in San Diego for a couple of years while I was working as an architectural draftsman. We then moved to Salt Lake City, where our son was born and I continued along the same line of work. Two years later we got homesick for California, so returned. We lived in the Palm Springs area, then Big Bear. After 5 years, we parted ways. I remarried and had three more children. Wife #2 and I then parted ways, then Kathy and I got remarried 14 years ago. In 1993 I took the state boards and got my architect's license in California, and one year later my license in Arizona. Our offices are in Big Bear, and for the last 13 years we've split our time between Big Bear and Palm Springs. My main hobbies are travelling and model railroading. The picture in my profile is part of my "train room", which you'll find me most evenings.
