Comments:

I'm happy that the newspaper industry lasted long enough for me to reach my own stopping point, 43 years after starting at The Daily Herald in our high school days. I'm now working for the quarterly Fairways Magazine, which is a much different pace than daily newspapers, and I love being around good golfers and great people in the golf industry, such as my PHS teammate Craig Norman.

School Story:

I could write at least one story for all 39 weeks of our senior school year, but this one has always stuck with me. One day in English, the senior girls complained to Miss Nelson that the boys were ignoring them in favor of the younger girls. I'm picturing Kathleen Felt Covey as the main spokesperson. It's true. Some more so than others, we exploited the social mores that the whole school was our dating pool, while the girls were limited to us seniors. In any case, I agree: Looking back, we didn't know what we were missing. The '79 women collectively had both style and substance. And even if we were all they had available, we should have been happy they paid any attention to us at all. So to the Timpview guys, the '78 guys, John Covey and all the others who married our '79 women, congratulations for being some combination of smart and lucky!
