Tell us what's happened to you since high school
(Feel free to tell us THE WHOLE STORY):

Since leaving PHS I have been all over the Caribbean in the late 70's and early to mid 80's from Freeport, Nassau Bahamas, to Virgin Islands, to Jamaica, to Barbados and Martinigue, and back to Kingston Jamaica where I hung out for 6 months. Meant and lived with Bunny and Sonny Livingston who sung in the group call the Wailers. Yes that Bob Marley and the Wailers (I really loved it over there). Came back to my house up in the canyon of Sierra Madre where I was fortunate enough to get to go to Big sporting events, Rosebowl game (USC vs. Ohio State), World Series (Dodgers vs. Yankees), And a Superbowl (Broncos vs. Giants). Those were great times. Then moved back to Pomona where I met wife, Laura. Had my pride and joy, my daughter DesaRaye who is 16. Things didn't work out so Dez lives with her mom in Chandler Az. But we are still very good friends and I see her a couple of months a year. So then I had to get serious about life and got a truck driving job. These are only the upside but there has been downsides too. But I won't bore you with them. So life is good.

 

Married? Kids?

Divorced, Yes (My pride and joy DesaRaye, 16)
 

Career? Job?

Class A Truck Driver
 

Where do you live?

10 Blocks from the beach in Long Beach, CA.
 

Which of your classmates
are you most curious about?

Any of the female persuasion lol
 

What was your favorite music then? Favorite song?

I like all Rock & Roll and Reggae but Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Bob Marley. So very many, even Willie Nelson. Anything that makes my foot tap.
 

What is the best CD you've listened to recently?

I have really gotten into Classical, Chopin, Mozart.
 

What is the best book you have read lately?

Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Common Sense.

There are too many.
 

Additional Comments:

I still see a lot of friends. The likes of Rick and Mona Shumate, Mel Campbell, Randy Credico and still talk monthly to Jimmy Cooper, Terry Lawerence, and Steve Howell. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think another reunion would be good thing.
