I loved the neighborhood where I lived, at 5815 Summit Street and even the neighborhood of the school itself. I remember it as a good place to grow up, but I truly don't believe I ever felt "inspired" by any teacher I had here. Wish we could have been subjected to seminars that gave us some insight into where we were in relation to the rest of the world.

Came to Missouri and S.W. High in the middle of my sophomore year, from White Plains, N.Y. Became attached to a group of guys who were fellow motor heads and have stayed in touch with some of them. I went to the University of Hawaii with my motorcycle and met all sorts of wild and crazy people, but quit going to classes and finally flunked out. I then had to recoup my grades at Metro Junior College and then U.M.K.C where I graduated with degrees in Geology and Geography. That also means I was situated in K.C. for quite a few years and started doing work in real estate. Today I am retired from work having continued in a career in real estate until recently.
