Hi Everyone! I went through your personal histories & am quite
amazed, impressed, & in awe. I'm sorry we have three in our ranks who'll never
be at a reunion. I can't say that I'm as accomplished as you people, but I'm on
a positive road.
I spent most of my 20's & the first couple years in my 30's
as a teenager. Of course there are setbacks for not growing. During that time,
I had an unusual knack of getting backstage to most concerts I've ever been
to. Meeting people like Joan Jett, Quiet Riot, BB King, members of Guns n
Roses, Sex Pistols, Duran Duran etc. etc.
I played drums off & on over the years & was in the midst of
putting out a compilation of music on a record label I formed w/ a friend in
95. My highlight was going to Japan for training in robotics (And crew
translator) & joining a Japanese rock band, playing drums & singing.
Well I had to grow up eventually, & a divorce to my wife of
seven years was my wake-up call. I've lived in CA & 10 years in the Portland
area. After my divorce, I moved to Hermiston, in 97.I'm currently in an
apprenticeship through the state at Simplot & working on a computer science
degree through BMCC. I have two beautiful daughters through my 1st marriage,
aged 11 & 6.
I'd like to eventually, would like to get a bachelors through
PSU or OSU. You are welcome to e-mail me anytime at

Take care, Skip
