If you are interested, my first CD project is on CD Baby and iTUnes (If I Could Just Fly by Michael Gosey). Or if you email me I'll send you one for free. Being completely honest I hated high school. I hated all the cliques and social posturing, the presumptuousness of the teachers if you were at all 'different', the perceived smugness of the athletes and cheerleaders. But upon perusing this site (thank you Ralph!!!!) I have more of a tempered memory of high school and will likely attend the reunion this April, though i doubt many will remember me. Regardless, God bless you all, everyone!!!! MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS: My Favorite Memories from High School: Sidney Swigget's music appreciation class which was hugely formative for me. I lusted after Iris Sweeney, my Calculus teacher. Steve Adams and I once debated how she would be in bed (a tiger we thought) If I could go back to high school for just one day: I'd shoot myself but not before dumping those goofy glasses Teachers, Coaches or Administrators who made a positive impact on me: Swiggett, Sweeney, Ms. Hall (an awesome lady and made me love 4 years of Latin), Ms Gebhardt, who instilled in me a love for English literature, such a sweet lady MY ACADEMIC BACKGROUND: After graduation, I completed 6 years of college/university studies and earned the following degrees: Bachelor's Degree from Va Tech Master's Degree from Va Tech Other interests or achievements during my college/university years include: playing blistering loud rock music with the many bands i was in while in high school and college. various bands opened for Grand Funk Railroad, Badfinger and Mountain.

I'd say Prague and New Zealand were the best.
