Memories

It would take a book to write my memories. I remember almost all my teachers, starting with Mr. Tom Robertson, Mr. Doss, Mr. Al Dickhart, and coaches Bob Cardona, Mike Birley, and Seifert. So many classmates had a positive effect on my life, and learning from them the appreciation of cross-culture society, has helped me all my life around the world to this very moment. My father and mother were true Sea Hawks, (even though my dad was the hooky cop at RUHS).
