I doubt it ... didn't have many friends. kept to myself and spent more time in the Lancaster area then West Seneca ...did play football but don't remember many of the guys I played with ... After High School I volunteered for military service... I liked heights, always wanted to jump from an airplane. well from 1968-1971 I was a member of the elite 82nd Airborne Div.Nothing quite like jumping into the night darkness and solitude ... something I will never forget.
I have 3 grown children sons 39 and 37 and a daughter who will be 30 in May of this year ... After the Military I went to Bryant-Stratton and got my AA in business administration ...

rked again ...Lived in the Depew-Lancaster area until I divorced first wife and moved to Orlando Florida ... remarried .. moved to Kissimmee Florida ... divorced and moved again to Leesburg Florida ... after wife #2 I swore 'never again' ... seven years later I met Carole # 3 and last wife! We are what a married couple should be... we laugh all the time and always have something to say to each other ... Life is good ... In 2007 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer ...followed by kidney failure and an aneurysm in my aorta! all in a matter of one month! Given a 40-60 survival rate ... right .. they didn't know who they were messing with! I've been cancer free for 2 years, kidneys, while only at 33% are working and they placed stints in my kidney arteries and aorta .. I'm currently living in Waikiki Beach Hawaii .. a very long way from the cold and snow of WNY ... Life is a roller coaster .. enjoy the ride!
