Last 20 Years in a Nutshell:
Went to Northwestern University (with Caroline and Annette). Got a BA in art history and a master's in journalism. Met Robyn at N.U. and got married. Worked for a newspaper, taught English in the Peace Corps (Czech Republic), worked at Luther Seminary, and taught at Irondale and Wayzata high schools. Hold 3327 patents. Still reading?

High School Memories:
I don't know, it's been awhile so my memory is a bit foggy. I guess playing in the fountain will always be a highlight. Flying the glider I made in shop class. Singing solos in chapel. Having coffee in the faculty lounge. Designing the football uniforms. Learning to type in ALL CAPS. Hanging out with "the boys." Lots more.
