Robert's Story
Well it's like this. You all know me as "Robbie". I grew up in Huntington Beach where I went to Perry Elementary and then Dwyer Middle School. In the middle of my junior year at HBHS, I went to live with my dad in Texas and then moved back to California when I was 18. I loved just about everyone I met in Texas but I really longed for my freinds and the beautiful weather back in Southern California.
I skipped college and worked two jobs until I nearly killed myself on a street bike at age 22. Once I was back on my feet, I began to take life a little more seriously and focused on a career in restaurant management. I married a girl that worked for me after knowing her for only six months. Even though we lasted eight years, it was a mistake from the very beginning.
We had a son when I was 30 but divorced a few years later. I switched careers and became a financial advisor after spending a few brief years in property management. Now I love what I do!
At 36, I met a girl on match.com and fell in love with her at first sight. She has four children of her own and I adore them all. My girlfriend is a very talented artist and a wonderful mother but we've both been burned by the marriage deal and are a little hesitant about taking that road again. For now, we're just playing by ear and we're having a great time.

r Eric (class of 88), whom many of you knew, died at age 32. Unfortunately the partying we did in Texas never ended for him and he died of alcohol poisoning. Five years later, my dad also passed away in his sleep while living in Florida. Forever stubborn about his health, he refused to see a doctor about his chest cold and it developed into pneumonia and took his life.
On a happier note, my son is now 10 years old and is a wonderful kid with an enourmous heart and spirit. I put him in Cub Scouts at age 6 and began volunteering as a leader immediately. I think I have more fun than he does!
When I'm not working, I'm out camping, riding dirtbikes in the desert or crawling over rocks and hills in my Jeep. I can't get enough of the outdoors and sometime I wish I were still in Texas so I could experience more of the outdoors than I did during high school.
There are a number of people from Oak Ridge High School and HBHS and Dwyer too that I'd love to catch up with but there were a few in particular that I really miss. From Texas, Trish Bienvenu, John Laird, Kim Brasher. From California, Lisa Subia is one person I never stopped thinking about. So if any of you reading this know where those people are, please let me know or send them to this web site.
