Memories of High School:

Some good friends, but inn general not my favorite part of life. Hit berkeley with a huge sigh of relief.

Favorite teacher perhaps Miss Clayton, English and Latin
And fond memories of Coach Callan, who had patience with a thorough nerd

Anything else we should know?

After retirement freed up more time, I took up fly fishing. Now do weeklong solo backpack/fly fishing trips into Idaho wilderness areas 3 or 4 times per year. Also go to Northern Patagonia, to the little gaucho town of Junín de los Andes Jan and Feb each year for fly fishing and - now - for friends. It's rather a second home.

Hey Cebe, I was going through "profiles" like a person slows down for a freeway wreck. I remember you well. Like you, high school was not exactly one of the highlights of my life and going on to college was a great relief. I remember the abuse you took for being a nerd but I'm and I'm sure my attitude contributed do your angst. But, While you were ready for college I was still in the 3rd grade. I read your profile and I'm happy to see that your adjustments after high school gave you what you deserved I'm sending all my positive thoughts and hope you are well saludos Bobby ray.

Cebe, Somewhere I started writing and then lost it. You seem to be the happy one on the mountain top. Probably because the world is nice from that vantage. From your profile I feel both of us are at a good time of our lives. I am sure we could share interesting stories but I am surprised at your feeling about Miramonte where i felt you had a better attitude there than you indicate. Not to get personnel, I just wanted to send you an comfortable hello and many happy days outdoors. Bruce Hilger
