Richard's Story
Life
In 1978 kissed my mom bye and told her not to worry about me, moved back to the hills of Tennesse, those that knew me well as ridgerunner knows a southern boy by birth alway comes home.
Worked with my father in his jewerly store. I designed and made custom diamond rings. Grew my hair down to there...(middle of my back) just to clear that up...ha Played in Southern Rock Band don't know how I made it through those couple of years...don't remember getting home at times...did get hearing loss from it and a ticket or two.
Married whats her name in 1983. had two sons Richard Eric and Danial Andrew... Divorced in 1985 oops wrong gal... Rised boys by myself and a few prayers. In 1993 remarried again strike two...lol that one didn't work out either.
I'm the full time Fire chief in Millersville TN. have been here since 1996... I raced at local track in street stock in 1993 loved the speed... now get to speed on the streets with red lights going... and I don't get a speeding ticket...Expand for more
lol...Don't miss the cold winters up there but do miss the friends I had. My job now keeps me on my toes 24/7 365, but love helping people when 911 is called for. Everything from babys being born to haz-mat spill on Interstate I-65. Love to hear from my old classmates from K-12.
Good memories of friends and yes of course that beautiful awesome girl Bridgette Halloran....my heart still cheers for her... she is the harmonious part of my life, and I'm blessed to have found her again. Her hand touched mine in the 5th grade and now that hand holds my heart.
Love her dearly and Kyra and my two sons, one which has made me a Grandpaw.. wow I'm getting old...lol. Hope one of our old english or spelling teachers evaluates my bio. But O'well... as Alice Cooper said in 78, SCHOOLS OUT FOR..EVER. Well that my bio.. Remember at graduation the song they played Time in a bottle? So why not open that bottle and spin the time to kept in touch. So type type type people... Richard AKA (Ridgerunner)
