I was an elected official in Santa Cruz County, California for twenty years. Now, I am an environmental attorney in Santa Cruz, and am also teaching courses in Legal Studies and Politics at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Well, I was the only person (up to that time, anyway) who ever qualified to play "D" basketball in my Senior year. You qualified through a formula that factored in age, height, and weight. It was the height thing!

Also, I don't know how I did this, but i somehow obtained a master key for Paly, and often came to school on the weekends, and roamed the corridors. Even after I graduated, as I remember.

Think I liked that place!!
