Came during Hell Week of football season and left after I graduated

Most of my memories I have probably made bigger than they were but enjoyed football , but not the head coach even though he helped me more than he knows and running track with coach Swift who taught me not to quit no matter the opposition. Lots of great guys and gals there but remember Art Cleary, Barry Howard, Bear Berigan and Cindy Creswell, and Robin Viney the most. I remember with horror watching myself on Tiger Tales and Grad nite was a first class experience.
Art Cleary became my first contact at So.Pas and good friend. He in turn introduced me to many others at school. One of those persons was Barry Howard. I will never forget Barry coming into the cafeteria, about two weeks into the school year with several girls clammering around him, wanting to buy his lunch. I was certainly impressed with his popularity and figured he was probably one that had been in the area awhile, being that I was the new guy. What a greater surprise I had when I discovered that Barry had only moved to So.Pas a few weeks before I did!! Barry had great charisma, that made many of us amazed and a bit envious. If he was Italian he would have been called Fonz!!

The greatest thing that ever happen to me was when I was 19 years old and discovered that God was real, and I could have a personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. This has given me direction and purpose in my life and peace through every storm that has come my way. The second greatest thing is meeting my wife, Shannon and she has been a blessing to me for 51 years but passed away 2016! The third, are my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Trusting that they will continue to impact the lives of others making it a better world for tomorrow. Praying that they will somehow leave this world better than how we left it! But all these things are truly in God's hands and hope that anyone reading this has this understanding because of your Faith in Jesus Christ.
