I have no idea since it has been a long time since high school and I really don't remember what they knew before. How has the direction of your life changed since high school? I never thought that I would spend a lot of time in, of all places, Yugoslavia or that I would attend astrology conferences with all sorts of bizarre people (not in Yugoslavia) I didn't imagine that I might try mountain climbing or political campaigning. Obviously, my life has no fixed direction which is something I didn't know in high school. Do you have any high school memories you’d like to share? Marching band practice on Halloween night presided over by the notorious Bob Gillett. No one wanted to be there but Mr. G's wrath was legendary and attendance was mandatory. Gillett always picked complicated routines which we messed up. Too bad he didn't keep it simple. Eggs were thrown, after all it was Halloween. PRESENTLY Are you retired (or anticipating retiring)? Retired From what vocation are you retired (or anticipate retiring from)? I retired from my job which involved working in various capacities for the City of Portland. When did (or will) you retire? I retired in 2017 which was later than I had planned but worth the wait.
