1.) Who do you wish you kept in touch with from high school?

Actually because of this event (thanks planning committee!), I was able to reconnect with a number of old friends including Bob Abele, Scott McCall, Chuck Simpson, James Chesna, Steve Gougeon, and Dave St. John. Great to be in contact with those guys again! Of course there are too many count as I would also love to reconnect with the old Evergreen Elementary and Berkshire Middle School folks.

2.) What is something you wish you did after high school or college that you never had the chance to do?

Almost went bungee jumping off a bridge while in college down at Ohio State – wish I did now as it would make a great story however I sure as heck wouldn’t do it now!

3.) What is something you're happy you had the chance to do?

Over my professional career I have been fortunate enough to travel a number of interesting places including Japan , Korea and Mexico . For leisure my wife and I headed over to Germany , Austria and Scotland and loved every bit of it (see Kim and I dancing in front of the gazebo from ‘Sound of Music’ – taken outside Saltzburg , Austria ). Now Kim and I are living in the Raleigh , North Carolina area (beach two hours away, mountains four hours away) and loving it. The snow blower has been sold!

4.) Where is your favorite place you've been to in the last 20 years?

Tough call, probably a toss-up between St. Andrews , Scotland and Halstatt , Austria . Amazing scenery and history! If I had to pick one of the two, well, the wheat beer from Austria/Germany puts Halstatt over the top. If your asking about domestic locations, top three are Asheville, NC, Isle Royale National Park, U.P. of Michigan and Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio (sorry, had to get that dig in there; Go Bucks!). A very close fourth is Yellowstone National Park in the spring – Go if you haven’t been!

5.) Name a high school memory that still makes you smile/laugh?

Rolling out of a smoke-filled Greg Panek car with Bob, Scott, Dave and several others during sign-up for our senior year. Foolish!

6.) Who are you looking forward to seeing at the reunion?

Unfortunately I will not be attending the reunion as Kim and I are expecting our first child (due Sept. 3rd – Labor Day of course)! I wouldn’t miss that for the world. I hope everyone has fun reconnecting!

7.) Is there anything your spouse/significant other would be surprised to know about you from your high school days?

Not that I’m aware of but I’m sure there is something.
