From (Early Life) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

No, none that I have heard. I do know though that I was a "breach" baby I believe so I had to be a C-section. The cool thing is that I ended up being born on my mom's birthday. My brother was born two years later on my mom's birthday as well.

One day I went to open my trumpet case in band class and there right on top was a Victoria's Secret catalog. I was so embarrassed and quickly shut the case before anyone else saw. I soon became angry and wanted to know who had pulled this prank on me. I didn't want to get in trouble with the school and I had also just became a Christian and got rid of all my porn and stuff so I felt like it was adding insult to injury.

At any rate, I found out that of all people, it was my friend Chas that put it in there as a practical joke. I couldn't be mad at him. Looking back it was actually a pretty hilarious practical joke that was played on me. I am so glad that no one saw it though :)

Back when my dad started running a lot, he encouraged me to enter in a race. I was having some problems with my blood pressure at the time and was trying to get cardiovascular exercise in. I was running a lot at the YMCA and the Great Lakes Athletic Club. So my first race was the Hidden Forest Trail Run at Independence Oaks. I was nervous about it - not knowing what to expect from my first race. I knew that I enjoyed when there was someone else on the track at the gym because it motivated me more.

This was also my co-worker Olaf Schmidt's first race. My dad had talked him into it too. He showed up wearing cleated shoes (meant for golfing). He thought they would help him with traction since it was a trail run. This has to be the only race where I heard an announcer mention that he didn't want any "show-offs" wearing boots or any other type of shoe. Olaf had to go talk to the guy and . . . Read More..

I remember in high school that my best friend Jim had a huge crush on this girl named Rachel. She had media class with us and I remember that Jim, Mike and I used to talk to her a lot. Anyway, I can remember hanging out in my bedroom with Jim and him talking about her and dreaming aloud about her. I think that once he called her and talked for a while with her on the phone at my house. I can't remember if they ever hooked up or anything.

From (Growing up Through Elementary School) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

I really liked dragging my blanket around. I enjoyed the muppets. I had a massive Hot Wheels collection. I liked it when my dad would get a 2 x 4 or a PVC pipe as a ramp for the cars. It's funny that I was really into cars and I ended up being an automotive engineer in the Motor City. I enjoyed Dr. Suess. Christmas was my favorite holiday and I still love it to this day and get teary eyed when I first play Christmas music every year. I grew into my name (Noel). I liked to tell stories verbally, through pictures or words. As soon as video games were in my house I latched on to them and haven't let go since, although I do spend a considerable less amount of time on them.
