Ah, what the heck, here's my story if anyone what's to remember me, a lot of you and I went to Calimesa elementry school before we went to Yucaipa Jr/Sr School. Remember High school started at 7:10 am and Junior high started at 8:45 am. Having two older brothers on campus helped keep me from being pantsed at school. You know the inauguration to the campus. I was a pretty good student until High School and the teachers had experienced my two older brothers I don't know of any problems or details with either of the two but I think they figured I was going to be a trouble maker as they were in some parts of their high school gang (back then it was a group of friends) activities possibly. Mr. Kirk, a 7th and 8th grade, both a english and history teacher had taken me out into the hallway of the music building and threw me around for a while for being a class interruptive clown. I'd like to see that ole boy now and thank him. Mr. Brown, the Vice Principal, would always tell me to tuck my shirt in as he's "say my on campus". I was kicked out of Algbra for asking Susan Strong to go to a football game with me and she sent back a nasty gram intercepted by MR. Martin and delivered to Mr. Brown. I was kicked out of Alegbra and lost interest in school except the no homework classes, you know, gym, autoshop, wood shop and best of all LUNCH TIME. I almost didn't graduate because I lent my research paper to Ken Burros to copy and it got turned in late. But the counseler stepped in, Mrs. Lamkie and I graduated as the last guy of the class because some chick wanted to set next to a friend and a seat was skipped. So I have one thing to account for, I was last. Grand night I spent with a long time friend Luann Blank. After I graduated I went into the Navy. Didn't like it so I got out. Couldn't find a job for a long time because the government told everyone they better start hiring women and minorities or they would loose government support and contracts. So much for veterans...Expand for more
