Tim Cantlon:  

You know it's a funny thing, as much as I disliked High School there are times these day's that I really miss it. Am I sick or what? (just kidding) Anyway, here goes my life and times after High school. After graduation (Friday June 13th 1980) I went on to College of the Redwoods where I began my pursuit of a career in Law Enforcement I spent 1 year at C/R then moved to Santa Rosa and enrolled in Santa Rosa Junior College where I continued my Law Enforcement education and training I attended the extended basic academy. Then the spring of 1983 the best possible thing happened to me, during a training scenario. I realized that I had an issue with using firearms. You see during the scenario, it became necessary to fire my gun. Unfortunately, ( if you want to be a policeman ) I discovered that it was necessary for me to think about my actions, my instructors told me if I hesitate it could cost the lives of innocent people. Well as you can imagine I was at a crossroads. I chose to hang-up my gun belt, though I continued my education as it was very helpful with the career I chose. I left college in February of 1984 and worked several odd jobs. The oddest of which was living in my car and selling ride tickets for Butler Amusements. That job lasted 9 months. In January 1986, I decided to settle down. I moved to Sunnyvale California, got an apartment and a job working security. I worked at several different locations in the Silicon Valley. The best location was the Holiday Inn in Palo Alto....when on June first 1988, I met the woman who I was going to spend the rest of my life with. Her name is Cheryl and she is my soulmate. We married in September 1991. We live with our 2 furry kids......Pandilyn and Mausi Boy. (pronounced like noisy ) who are both 6 years old. We are in the same apartment that I moved into in 1986. In September 2000, I asked Jesus Christ into my heart and was baptized. There is one thing that is absolutely clear....The longer we tredge, through this existance we call life, we face many challenges but through all of these challenges, Jesus walks by my side. ( I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me) Philipians 4:13. I turned 46 this year and though there are some things I would have liked to end better. In all honesty, I wouldn't change a thing. Thank You all for the memories Tim Cantlon The following are the answers to the "STORY WIZARD" I hope to be remembered as a friendly classmate I always wanted to be a helpful person when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right. I try not to blow off too much steam because for me, it might be dangerous so I...Expand for more
