premature. I've spent my whole life in school and trying not

Seeing this brings back some bad memories from my
childhood. I attended OLH but left because I always had the
unique opportunity to crawl under the Sr. Bertha's skin. I
guess she and I didn't look through the same rose colored
glasses. For those of you who don't seem to remember I was
always the first one to try and get everyone to laugh. School
wasn't that important to me and it still wasn't went I graduated
from Riley.
Well, boys and girls....it came back to bite me in the
?%>>>>@". After spending three years in the Army both in the
US and special assignments, I headed to Ball State and
received my degree in Education. I have spent the last 27
years as a teacher, coach, assistant principal and principal
(LeMans Academy, Rockville Jr-Sr High School, Cascade High
School, Franklin Community High School). I opened the first
public charter high school for Decatur Township Schools in
southwest Indy. I made a move to Central office this year and
I'm looking forward to a little quiet time. No more game, etc......
I am re-married to the love of my life-Cindy. We have been
married going on 14 years. I have three grown children from
my previous marriage and they all live the the God foresaken
state of Florida near their mom. My son has blessed us with
our 4 year-old granddaughter who we see many time
throughout the year. I have two grown step-children as well
and we have another granddaugther from them and another
one on the way.
It was great to read about everyone life to date. I hope that I
will be able to rearrange my schedule to attend. I look
forward to seeing some of the old "JOKERS". Those of you
who can remember the corner nightly events near the flag
pole. Many of you didn't want to come around because we
were the wild bunch. We were the kids your parents told you
not to be near.....but did we turn out great. Hello to all by old
cronies....Alan, Limbo, Steve, Mickey, Marty, Kenny???? I
know I missed some.
For those who don't remember me...look at the 62 football
picture. I was always the smallest but the toughest.

my life as residence anyway. I graduated from Riley in 1968
and then off to Indiana University at South Bend for degrees

and MBA ('98). I have spent my life in sales and do quite a bit
of travelling with this position. I am currently selling rubber
parts over 22 states for a distributor out of Zeeland, Michigan.
I have been working with the IUSB Alumni Association for the
past 20 years and have just recently resigned from active
participation on that board. I am also teaching Economics at
IUSB. I have been married for 33 years to Nancy (Tailor). I met
her through friends and am happy to report they are still my
friends! Nancy works in the division of Liberal Arts and
Sciences at IUSB. We have two boys. Scott is married and
living in Indianapolis (Broadripple Neighborhood). He is
completing his master's degree in councelling at IUPUI and
hopes to be a high school councellor in the fall. His wife
teaches English at to freshmen in Indianapolis. Adam (my
youngest son) is currently living in Syracuse New York and
