Where has the time gone?! Been pretty darn busy. Married 45 years - to the same woman no less! Raised 2 incredible young men, been a Carny, been in many businesses including the music business, started businesses, traveled (Italy, Ireland, Scotland, Paris etc.), 50 years of fishing/adventure trips to Baja with my best Amigo Richie Heinz (CHS '69) which continues to this day. Past Pres. of the Coronado Chamber of Commerce & the Coronado Optimist Club, coached baseball etc., played thousands of racquetball games, Announcer, Love good/simple food, BBQ, Big tequila and whiskey fan. Love music, fishing, reading, movies...but not a big fan of sleep because there are so many wonderful things to do! Now working on my bucket list but despite crossing things off it keeps growing. I think that is what keeps me going! I love new things, especially adventures...

Favorite activity was the great dances at the Junior High Auditorium. Shakin' a Tailfeather to the great bands that played there. Lunches with Charlie Coker and the crew under the tree in front of the Children's Library. Summers at Center Beach in the early-mid 60's were EPIC! Marilyn Monroe at the Del in "Some Like It Hot". Day & Night Market, Night & Day Cafe(The Greasy Spoon's 3-eggers were life-savers), Bob's Drive In, Free Bros. Market, Oscars Drive In, Perkins Bookworm, Lou Villar's Spanish Class with John Little and a thousand Batman imitations, smooching girls, riding the Ferry, seemingly endless summers. How incredibly lucky we were...it was so idyllic back then and we just took it all for granted. Only regret- we just missed attending the old/classic CHS buildings by 1 year.
