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.

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.
