best HS memory:  not the best memory, but I remember freezing in the back of a pick up truck that we got a ride back to Cleveland from Loudon after the loss to Maryville in the playoffs after Nick Dorko’s car wouldn’t start after the game.  I think we had to take the SAT the next morning in Chattanooga and I still blame that for scoring so pitiful on the test.

friend(s) from HS I've kept a close relationship with:  I shared an apartment with David Johnson during our last year at UTK.  Ron Dow (CHS ’79) works in my office, I’ve gotten to see Coach Miller, Bob Waddell (RIP), Joe Waddell, Johnny Lennon, Joe Hannah and Jeff Howard’s dad at high school wrestling tournaments the last couple of years.  I hear from Mike Shealy every now and then but he won’t use email so only by phone.  Oh yeah, I also got a kick when I found out that Garrett’s baseball coach (Brian Reed) was fraternity brothers with String and Mike Yarworski at UTK.

Message or Notes to Class:  Looking forward to this reunion, and many thanks for the efforts from all the organizers!  THANKS!!
