Chris, that is, I, graduated from St. Marys Memorial High School in 1972, making 1997 the year of my (groan) 25th class reunion. Gawd hep us each an ever one.

I also have a BSCE from Purdue University. I've worked in many fields over the years - as a busboy, surveyor, engineer, woodworker, landlord, newspaper columnist/editor, telecommunications marketer, receiving clerk and now as a purchaser at Classic Delight, Inc. - but I have always made sure that time with my family came first.
