CHS Memories (Friends, Funniest story, Teachers, Events, Activities, Sports, Songs, Would like to forget…, etc.)
|
My four years at CHS are sort of a blur for me. I don’t have many of the vivid and positive memories that others have (having read some of their bios). Looking back I don’t think I fit in well at CHS. I was a socially awkward person who finally matured and caught up with the rest of the world in college and beyond. -I remember with great fondness the kindness that Heather Frost and Sara Korklan showed by being my Pep Pals. -I was very shy around the girls. I remember I had a HUGE crush on one girl in particular, but I was afraid to say anything to her. If she comes to the reunion I will probably fess up to my crush. -I loved Jeff Morrison because he related better to high school people better than anyone I can recall. I remember long discussions with him trying to decipher the meaning of Don McLean’s American Pie. -I remember talking to Joe Dickman (the librarian) one day about his baseball card collection. One thing led to another and he ended up selling me the collection for $8. It’s worth over $20,000 now. OY! -I felt pretty cool lettering Varsity in Cross Country as a sophomore. I remember the only race I ever won, which was at Lafayette. -Sam Houston’s winning shot to beat Bayless. -I loved Stairway to Heaven (especially at the prom and at Depo) and was always disappointed when the slow part turned into the fast part. -Taking Camie Christopher out on a date to Six Flags. I wonder if she was just trying to piss off Jim Weyerman. I hope it worked! -I learned a lot from Mr. Hopper about competing in sports and it has served me to this day. -My one experience in stagecraft with Hello Dolly left me wanting to participate in some kind of theatrical event again, and I have sung the last three years with the Buffalo Grove Singers. -I remember spending time with Tom Arenberg, Bart Bartel, and Bob Buesinger |
After High School (Career, Accomplishments, Favorite Activities, Message to classmates…, etc.)
|
-I have owned my own tax credit recovery business since 1998. I finally am in my bliss by running the show. It is the best thing I have done career wise and will probably take me till I retire, if I ever do. -I caught the running bug in high school and it never left me. I have run 12 Marathons, qualifying and running in the Boston Marathon in 2003 (see picture). I will be running Boston again in 2005. Hope to run a marathon in every state by the time I’m through. -I regularly do bike rides of 25 to 100+ miles. -I have stayed very close to Frank Lawton, Rob Reynolds, Rick Sanford and Gary Ross from ’75. We have had a ‘reunion’ poker game every year since high school. Frank survived a very serious battle with Leukemia so it makes us all the more grateful that we can still get together and rehash the good old days. -I took some courses from Landmark Education in my early forties and it is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. -I work with local high school kids as a mentor on special ‘retreat’ weekends where kids get to discuss what is really important to them in a very safe and nurturing environment. -Life has been very good to me and I live life to the fullest. I hope that my fellow classmates have found the same sense of peace and fulfillment with their family, friends, activities and careers.
