John's Story

The Old Maple Leaf Elementary is of course Gone now... Asa Mercer was freign scary, Grover Cleveland sucked... but "what a time"... You may remember my oldest brother JAMES was a complete asshole jerk (& way worse now than then even) and my next older brother (Donnie) was a little boy molester! I was the skinny little red heaed boy that in Grade School had the two little hotties Gwen & Lela taking me out to the bushes for show and tell. I got ugly ol blackframe glasses in the 5th grade (at the new Maple School), my step mom was Pres of the PTA and she dressed me funny ! I was picked on "alot" but never ran away from the bullies and served up some deserts for more than one. ( LIFE is STILL that way !?!?!?). I remember having a few crushes and was chivalrous to many of the girls. I have pretty much stayed to the west USA, but left the evergreen state cause they are forever taking the green. Life has been a living action/drama with many mistakes and a mutitude of blessings mixed with a GODly amount of real miracles as evidenced by my continued presense. I have been afforded the life experiences of more than a few men and am very rich in that I have a need for pretty much nothing that I dont have. I definately had it better than some and way worse than others, especialy what with my undesirable older siblings and going through that infer...Expand for more
nal desegragation days and being only 1 of 2 red headed boys out of a tousnad or so, but I guess it Had To happen. I finaly changed my last name to "what it is supposed to be" and do not recognize my elder siblings (gee go figure). I am in my second (final) marrage, have had 5 beautiful children via 3 different mothers. (4 Girls and 1 Boy) The oldest is 31, the youngest is 4. I live on the Oregon Coast, own my home, and commercialy fished for 7 years from the year 2000 with 5 different boats and hold the ODFW (Oregon Fish & Wildlife) alltime record for the most BlackRock Sea Bass ever landed by a single vessel in a year. I of course dropped out to go give my all (35 years of my life) to the automotive industry to the happiness of thousands of people and serious degradation of my physical but my spirit is still very young and back there where we were together and even before. Now I am Mr. Mom..(i know... whoda thunk that?) and semi retired and enjoy fishing and crabbing in the Pacific out of Tillamook Bay, and raising my Daughter Alicia. To all of you who's lives I touched and those who's have touched mine... I want to say I appologize for any ignorances of my youth that may have been a negative thing for you and wish to express my prayer that life has, does and will afford each of you belssings beyond your imaginations like mine has.
