Life
After surviving grape "eyeballs" on Halloween weekends at Asbury Elem, learning to become part of the wall as Bennie Hernandez walked unswervingly through the halls of Grant JrHS, & drinking Apple Beer at O'Fallon Park woodsies through dear ol' SHS, I was sentenced to a year in exile at NJCC in Sterling. Escaped a year later to UNC at Greeley majoring in Business Ed (55 wpm). Thanks to the self-grading trend of the era, graduated with honors. Married Jamie Roads Aug/70, student taught at Manual HS, drafted & transplanted to Richmond, VA in Jan/71 for 3 yrs.

ned a budget software system with partner & have been marketing that since '91. Jamie and I were fortunate to have 3 great boys: Matt, '77; Clay, '81; & Josh, '83. Many moons of soccer, tuba, volleyball, saxophone, basketball, wrestling, & guitar. Working towards retirement, unbelievably.
So despite what John Robertson wrote in my yearbook about having an "unlucky face"...and having "Mama's Boy" taped on my wrestling locker by Steve Trunck/Ernie Tisdell & Co...I was still drafted for the '54 edition of Who's Who of Asbury Elementary Graduates.
Study hall with Phil Whiteley, & running the streets with Dave Damrell & Dave High made me what I am today.

Spent 3 yrs at Ft Lee, VA which is how I became a good ol' Virginian.
