About You: I consider myself lucky to have lived a good life and done/seen more then I would have ever envisioned as a scrawny athlete from TMR High. Somehow it has taken the cockiness I grew up with and molded it into appreciation. I cant wait to catch up and laugh with those that were part of that journey 50 years ago.
Favourite Memories from MRHS: The amazing friends I encountered. The numerous “best friends” I had during those four years still raise positive memories, but most of all, there are the “puppy love crushes” that still put a huge smile on my face, even at 67 years of age and after 40 years of marriage!
Favourite Teacher(s): I was a jock, so for me its no surprise that it was Mr Haywood, Mr Junior (actual name was Wegerzenowski?, but he used “Jr” when coaching Basketball) and Mr Foreman. Mr Bramble (Chemistry) and Mr Dempster (Physics) were not my favorites, BUT it was certainly hard to forget their styles. Kudos go to Mr Taylor as well (our Vice Principle) because he used to make me play badminton with him to serve out detentions.
