What's Up:
Yup---Yup---Yup...Well - I'm up (I'm awake and most of that time
up-beat)...I'm always interested in - living out
the-day/the-month/the-year...Just - living life to the fullest - as
they say (whoever "they" are)...ENJOYING!!!...I try and stay active
- by playing golf (as much as possible...hey---ya---I'm walking and
carrying the bag most of the time---okay)...Also - enjoy getting out
and about - where there's some good tunes to move to (and I'm movin'
- to the tunes - on and/or off the dance floor)...I am really - just
trying to keep the rust from setting in (ya---at OUR
age---right)...!!!...
My Occupation:
Graduated from
Colo. Inst. of Art (CIA) in 1969 - and went straight to
Chicago...Spent 17 years (there) - as a Graphic Designer...Worked
for the United States Racquetball Assoc. (USRA) - doing design and
production on all their printed material...Also - did the design and
production for a couple of golf magazines...Some of the best times -
of my art career (back then - in Chicago)...Came back here - in
(late) 1987...Bought a printing company (Q-man Impressions)...Then -
in 1999 (so---now it's time to party - like it's
1999...right...that's what the song says) - I sold all the
equipment...Keeping some of those clients and then brokering the
printing...Still doing that - today - as well as some graphic design
(it' paying the bills)...At some point - I want to do some metal
sculpturing (when---???---not sure)...That will happen---someday!!!
My Family:
Family is
(sort of) limited (these days)...As (others of you - may have
experienced) - my parents are gone (Mom 6 years ago---Dad 3 years
ago)...Have a younger sister (here) - but - not really (that's not
just a story---it's a book...no need---to go there!!!)...I was
married (one and only time) for 10 (or 11 - or 12) years (it was 20+
years ago---don't really remember - want to)...Had two beautiful and
wonderful daughters!!!...In 1993 - I lost my oldest daughter (Cristy)
- when she was 16 - in a car accident (with two other girls)...My
youngest daughter (Erin) - is 23 and lives in Buffalo, NY...Grew-up
with lots of family around...These days - it's different (it's not
like - back then - some 40 years ago)...Again---just trying to ENJOY
(all of) life (for tomorrow - is no guarantee)...Life is a
gift!!!...So---(I say) ENJOY!!!
Favorite Memories:
WOW...High
school memories---???---...Been there---done that---but - can't
remember (as the saying goes)...So---long ago (it seems)...I
remember---(over-all) having fun - while trying to (just)
graduate...Some fun times with some fun people...It will be fun - to
see - some of you (after 40 years)...I'm looking forward to some
(no---lots of) fun time at this (40th) reunion!!!...Maybe---WE can
help each other - in remembering (some of those) high school
memories...See YOU---then!!!...Yup---Yup---Yup
