State/Prov.:NC Occupation:Retired Presentation Designer Marital Status:Married Grammar (feeder) School:Clinton Division Teacher:Miss Ashland Your Favorite Piece Of Wisdom:Don't accept it, nor reject it, merely flow with it. My Life Since Senn ...:After graduation, I must admit that I had very little ambition. I have always enjoyed music and started playing the 5 string banjo and guitar. We formed a group and sang at several colleges in front of as many as 25,000 people. We were also hired to play at a place called the "Fickle Pickle". It was a very well known coffeehouse at that time.
My parents suggested that I at least go to a junior college. Amundsen. I actually enjoyed it and continued my next 2 years at The U of I Navy Pier.
During my Navy Pier days, I decided to join the Illinois National Guard and received a "secret clearance".
I guess that I still had some wild oats to sew. I tended bar at several places, the last one was called "Beavers", and it became a very well known place because of the bands that played there. I was co-manager and stood about 25 feet from the stage where the likes of, and I'll just mention a few, Buddy Miles Express (Buddy was the drummer for Jimi Hendrix, The Steve Miller Band, Country Joe and the Fish, The Buckinghams and do any of you remember "Baby Huey and the Babysitters?", among others.
I then went down to Florida with some friends and went to work at the Elbo Room in Ft. Lauderdale. This bar was featured in the movie "Where the Boys Are"
When I returned to Chicago, I went to work at a very busy pizza restaurant in Evanston called "The Spot". Evanston was dry at the time, but when it went from dry to wet, I was the first person to serve a beer in a restaurant. Not many people can say that.
This was where I met my wonderful wife of 34 Years, Nancy.
Immediatedly after marriage, we moved to a small town in Maine and we both went back to school. It was about that time that we chose careers over children. I spent the next 26 years at a large Architectural and Engineering firm as a presentation designer.
Maine is a beautiful state, however, as we grew older, the winters seemed to get colder and snowier. It was time to pack up again and move south, North Carolina. I retired and couldn't stand it, so I am now working part time at our local hospital in an administrative capacity.
Oh, and I still play a 5 string banjo, guitar and sing.
Nuff Said.
