Yep. I grew up in a TV repair shop, and went on many calls with my

I was working in a shop doing radio & TV repairs at 13, but was busy
learning to repair early solid state junk built with leaky germanium
transistors. Some GE crap was so bad that you had to change the bias
resistors when you put in a new transistor. What a shock to see the
first Motorola Quasar TVs built with decent semis!

Oh, my Latin teacher was a Augustinian brother and had the best collection
of Latin dirty words that you could imagine. Not to mention the ribald
poems of those times.

One HELL of a way to learn GOOD Latin is with a chuckle.

My teacher, Ms Grady, was an ex-nun :-(

I wasn't even taking Latin at the time. I rejoined the Latin Club
because I found out that the babe I had my eyes on was in charge of
the annual Latin Club Picnic and New Member Initiation ;-)

It ain't too bad, I still think like an 18 year-old, but then I fall
asleep ;-)


Me too. On 9-12-01 I called a recruiter, and he said I was too old. A
while later I needed a nap, so I decided they might be right.



He was being nice. That wasn't the only reason.

You look like a early TV repairman.


If he was that ugly back then I shudder to think what he looks
like now!

Had you been on fire?


Naaah! She was so young she confused "distinguished" and
"extinguished" ;-)

Picture from 50th High School Reunion last summer attached.

One might lead a long and fruitful life without ever having a need to
look at that.

It could have been worse. If you were 'Al Bundy' your daughter would
have said "I hope he doesn't make a testicle of himself. :(

Latin? EWW! My Latin teacher had absolutely no sense of humor.



Oh, my Latin teacher was a Augustinian brother and had the best collection
of Latin dirty words that you could imagine. Not to mention the ribald
poems of those times.

One HELL of a way to learn GOOD Latin is with a chuckle.

My teacher, Ms Grady, was an ex-nun :-(

I wasn't even taking Latin at the time. I rejoined the Latin Club
because I found out that the babe I had my eyes on was in charge of
the annual Latin Club Picnic and New Member Initiation ;-)

(We married 3 years later. March 31 will be our 49th Anniversary ;-)



I remember Latin Club. During their 'Slave Auction' party. I was
bought by one of the cheerleaders. A beautiful girl named Lori.
Unfortunately, she was dating some idiot on the basketball team but we
did have a lot of fun at that party. :)

Actually very few photos of me exist. I'm always taking wife,
children and grandchildren pictures.

But here's another cropped from the 50th HS reunion...


How about posting it on rotten.com next to the Michael Jackson mugshot?


Am I prettier ?:-)


I'd have to flip a coin on that one.

I know. My face is really wrinkled up with laughter lines. That's
the damage imposed upon me by liberals... constantly keeping my face
twisted up in laughter ;-)

I have the complete James Dean collection on DVD. "Rebel Without a
Cause" is my favorite. Of course I'm also old enough to have seen it
in theater upon first release ;-)
