School Story

Just playing in the pep and marching bands. Super good time with Michael Britt, the best band leader of all time. I had a lot of fun in our own jazz band: The Churchill Street jazz band. Did track and cross country for sports, became a lifetime runner, still jogging though at a pathetic pace at age 61.

I don't know, I was kind of quiet but I had a lot of close friends and high school was for me a good time. OK, funny stories, there were many. Had a band concert, but Paul Jaqua and I climbed on the walkways above the stage and hidden from view, emptied our spit valves onto the orchestra when they were performing.
