Friends for 50 years . . .
Favorite HIgh School memories have to be the friends that I still am in touch with, playing Sakini in "Teahouse of the August Moon," helping student body president Bob Campbell give a tour of SMHS to a future president, Buzz (and Jo) Clopper, "Bear" Stevens, John Ryan.
Life after Grad Night: college and actually graduating with a real live degree, USC games, jobs, wife Mardee, two girls, thee grandkids, numerous pets (especially the Great Danes), moving to Dallas in 1972, entire family getting involved in soccer which provided us with many travel opportunities, and I'm sure there must be other stuff but I can't seem to remember what.
My wife Mardee and I met at USC. We were married for 43 years and she passed away in December 2010.
We moved to Dallas in 1972 when i was transferred by Coldwell Banker to open the Coldwell Banker Commercial office.
These days, I'm sort of retired but do work for the Richardson Independent School District in a non-creative job after a career in commercial real estate and 9 years as a private school high school teacher.
