Most Memorable Moment:
I graduated from a 4 year university in 2-1/2 years because I took more than the alloted courses. I was called in every semester because I was enrolled in 21-23 hours. I never had to drop any classes because of my B+ average. I always took at least 15 hrs during the summer. My objective was to hurry and start a professional career so that I could make some real money. I used to have to decline all of the parties because I had to study. I used to tell my friends, I want to be able to party on more than $5.
High School: Hazelwood Central in Florissant, MO class of 1971
