Mark's Story
Life is good!
This is my updated bio for 2013.
I must include a special note to mourn the passing of Coach Ingram from early March, 2013. I last saw him in and around 1998-2000 in the new gym at WHS. It took me many years to learn to appreciate him as a coach and teacher, and he was one of the top five. Call or write me and I'll share the details of our conversation.
As far as Classmates is concerned, I bought the gold membership for a year because it was cheap, and they won't bill my credit card automatically. I want to get the yearbook scanned and posted. Business has killed most of my free time. I have all the e-mailed 30-year reunion pics re-sampled, color-corrected, and burned to DVD or CD-ROM The disk includes separate folders for the 30-year and the 35-year reunion. If you haven't sent me pics from the 30 and 35-year reunion, please do so and IâÂÂll run them through the Photoshop enhancement process.

I WILL CALL YOU BACK ON MY FREE DIME!
It's been a long time. The first 30-35 years went by really fast. Good to see that our grad class is alive and kicking and looking very well.
I'm living in the St. Louis MO. area since 1995, and also in '84 to '88 as well. Still single, no kids. I am temporarily jammed up in Illinois for a short time period -- since fall-2010.
My e-mail address is:
(actionarms at Action-Arms dot com (no spaces))
I hope to hear from some old classmates, WRITE ME ANYTIME! The (Classmates) site only lets paying customers access their e-mail. That kinda stinks. I've been told that my e-mail address was also hidden. Just remove the spaces & fire away. If that fails, you can always contact me by landline: 217-532-2593. Well folks, I missed the reunion on August 9th, 2003. No excuses, just poor planning on my part. I hope it was the last reunion I miss (while I'm still living). In any case, I did get to talk to some of you at the party. I'm glad to talk to every one of you, & hope I can continue to communicate.
As a result, I'm going to set up a website dedicated wholly to enhance comm...Expand for more
unications between classmates. No membership fees, no pop-up ads, just a wholesome website dedicated to members, family & friends of the class of '73. I just got a bunch of digital pics from Marlene Kosinski, and will be receiving more from others who took pics. Terrie (Cloutier) Jaramillo has most of the archives from our past three reunions in safekeeping. I will be digitizing all the photos very soon & getting them ready for the web. I'm also going to burn a CD-ROM w/ those pics, as well ad a complete reproduction of our 73 yearbook. IF YOU HAVE ANY PICS OF PAST REUNIONS, FAMILY, THEN AND NOW, PLEASE CONTACT ME EITHER BY E-MAIL OR LAND LINE:
PH#: 2175322593.
Stay tuned, and don't be a stranger!

College:
I took a bunch of college classes. I never went for a degree. I also attended a couple trade-type institutions. I got a good working knowledge of the subject matter after I left the institutions and; set out on my own. I credit those schools for giving me the basics, but they're just a big bottomless pit to get government monies.
My best advice is to stay in a traditional college-university setting. Most of the diploma & certificate factories are unknown outside their immediate geographic areas. Moving 2000 miles was a wake-up call.
Workplace:
I am now semi-retired. I started some business ventures. I don't plan to work full time in Corporate America unless my business really flies. I'm tired of killing my mind & body for "Corporate America" and reaping zero or no rewards. There's an old song that says it all:
We'll call you when you're six years old,
And drag you to the factory,
To train your brain for eighteen years,
With promise of security,
But then you're free!.,
And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign,
So you may die in Florida,
At the pleasant age of sixty nine
Steppenwolf, 1966
Famous quotes (I did NOT make them up):
"Nothing in your life can ever change until the current situation becomes intolerable." (My good friend & former AT&T colleague Elmer Kuehn, 1997, St. Louis MO).
"Life is good, but you can't fix STUPID (stupid!)" (Jim White -- KMOX radio talk show host -- retired.
"Once you open up a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is to use a larger can."
