Favorite memory: The memories are too many to list. Great friends, fun times.
Words of wisdom: Looks like "Life is Short" is popular here--but at our age, I guess that says it all.

Favorite memory: I enjoyed my time at Rocky and all of my classmates. I have lots of good memories and forgot most of the bad ones (good deal)!! I liked being on the swim team and almost all of my classes. I still use some of what I learned at Rocky every day.
News: I have a new lady in my life, and she is great!! We are building a cabin near Westcliffe, CO, and having a great time building it by ourselves. I always was interested in solar power and being self-sufficient, so we are doing all we can to live on our own. I hope everyone can enjoy their life like I am.

Favorite memory: Every moment of high school remains one big, wonderful memory to me. Our Class of '62 is full of amazing and special people. Memories? Friendships. . .I can't think of one person that I didn't consider my friend, then or now.
Words of wisdom: Never retire, never stop learning, never stop taking another step. Every day brings something brand new.

Favorite memory: Drinking beer before the Friday night dance
Words of wisdom: Never drink beer before the Friday night dance.

News: Working part-time, enjoying life, taking a few classes of personal interest at the local university just for fun. Would like to go back to Europe for an extended stay; take in a bit of Asia. . .see the Great Wall in China and go "down under" before they put me under. My obligations are on auto pay and I am ready to go whenever the idea takes hold.

News: Hip replacement
Words of wisdom: First day of the rest of your life!

Favorite memory: Nocturnal visits to consult with Dean "Hub" Wagner; Mr. Burroughs' senior physics class; driving in reverse at 60 mph in Kolovat's Studebaker Lark. I don't remember Tyler ever being on the golf team.
Words of wisdom: Never pet a burning dog.

Favorite memory: Friday assemblies, especially the pep rally contests, and breakfast in the cafeteria; the cinnamon rolls were the world's best.

Favorite memory: 1961 state track & field champions

Favorite memories: My favorite memory involved drinking beer before the Friday night dances (senior year) and then driving my '54 Buick Roadmaster (4 miles to the gallon) up onto one of the gravel roads in the cemetery so nobody could sneak up and "bushwhack" us. Up there we (censored....) and the best part was (redacted...) and then of course we (op cit/ibid...)! (Shame on you, Dick, this is a family website...ed.)

I also remember fondly that I was a "creative" chemistry student. By dropping copper pennies into sulfuric acid for six seconds they would dissolve down to the size and weight of a dime. (Still owe my lab mate Tom Nusbaum an apology for toxic fumes incident this scheme produced and the brain damage problems--sorry, Tom--how's it goin'?.....Tom?....Tom?)

Anyway, these copper dimes worked perfectly in the Coke machine in the cafeteria until Charles O. Austin announced over the PA one morning that the degenerated low-life that was using "funny money" in the Coke machine and losing Rocky High money, would be suspended for life when caught. I always liked Charlie O. Nice sense of humor.

BTW--got a "C" in the Chem class. (Good dancer--no brains.)

News: Contrary to popular high school predictions, I am still alive, not in rehab nor Federal Detention Center for white collar crimes. Rumors of witness protection program involvement seem to be greatly exaggerated also.

Words of wisdom: Age and duplicity will conquer youth, sincerity and selfless altruism every time.
