Tom's Story
Life
Since graduation, I worked at the local lumber yard until they closed in 1983, then transferred to the one in Aspen for the next 15 years.
I attended CMC and received 2 Bachelor's degrees during this time, taking night classes.
During the last few years at the lumber yard, I started working part time with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, selling merchandise and hauling their equipment across the country. When I finally quit the lumber yard altogether (in 1999), I traveled with the band full time.
They subsequently took a year off, forcing me to take up a few other part time jobs. One was with Rifle Lock & Safe, another was ...Expand for more
with American Soda (doing Environmental work), and also working with a building contractor.
When the band started touring again, I decided to stay around home (for a change) and have been perfectly happy ever since.
I've been buying some real estate in order to secure my future.
Never been married, no kids... Had one dog but had to put him down after 15 years. Now I just have 2 turtles to keep me company, plus all the friends in Rifle I have re-acquainted myself with after being away from there for 16 years.
I've really enjoyed attending all our Class Reunions in the past. I hope lots of people show up for our 30th in 2008!
