When I was in 4th or 5th grade I got this idea in my head to sweet talk and romance a girl while we were protecting and serving classmates by making sure they didnt get killed walking the street.

It was the safety patrols job to monitor the street going across South Lake Rd from Burt.  It was actually very rare that we would help anyone out because most kids just ate inside the gym and didnt live near the school.

So my idea of romance was to kiss Laura Brandon because I really thought she was a cutie.  

And in order to prepare for this (this being my first kiss ever) I really had to kind of "prepare."   So as embarrassing as this is, I will post it.  I pretty much the night before kind of hugged and envisioned my romantic kiss with her with my pillow.  Acted as if it was her pretty much.

But the day came and I was very nervous as to what would happen.  When come to find out Laura wasnt there and some other girl took her place.  I remember . . . Read More..

I have been thinking a bit about the things I used to do in my back yard at my house growing up. There is not one story that completely sticks out to be written as a full memory so I will try to bullet the things that happened in my yard so I wont forget some of the fun things that happened there.

• The first big memory that happened here was the time my brother fell off of the tree in the back yard. It was very early on in living at that house, maybe a few months after we moved in. He was in a cast for a while.
• We even had a second tree pretty much in the neighbors yard next to us that we would climb around.
• If you cut through the house be hind us a bit, you can get to this small little patch of woods where we used to hang out once and a while.
• One time near our shed in the back, a kid next door threw a large rock and hit my brother in the head. He probably got a small concussion or something. My dad was so furious and he

Original Memory Inspiration / Question


His Response:

One of the scariest moments that ever happened to me was once I was riding in a car with Jenice Winowicki and Valerie to Jazz band in high school and we were going through a solid green light.

Val and I could never find the seat belts in this car in the morning. And as usual, we didnt have them on because they were stuck in the seat somewhere probably.

So this car drives straight through the light on the corner of Cass Lake Road and Elizabeth lake road and miraculously, Jenice's father completely swerved and dodged it.

I was sitting on the side of which would have been hit by the car. It was a near possible death situation. I would have minimally went to the hospital with broken bones.

Somehow that always happens with me. The moment I dont have a seat belt on ... bad stuff happens.

From (High School Days) Original Memory Interview Question

His Response:

Yea I remember my first day, I remember the people next to my locker. I loved having my brother to help guide me and support me. We also had a really fun guy near our lockers.

I remember at the time I already new many new people from Band camp and also football. I even was dating Millicent Motzny at the time probably. So things were going good.

There was so much excitement in the air. Being a freshman definitely sucks. You have no respect. And rightfully so...

It was sweet cause I probably didnt even take the bus on my first day of high school. My brother drove me everywhere.

The first days of high school and college is all rules and syllabi, you get your expectations set that day and you get to meet your teachers and professors.

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

His Response:

My First memory ever was at the greatest place on earth. Disneyland!

I obviously dont remember everything from it. But I do remember being at a parade at night.

I dont know why this sticks out to me as the earliest memory I have in life, but for some reason it feels the faintest and oldest one I have.

This could have been when we went to Florida and my grandpa Renne first met me. This was in 1983. It was either on this trip of the one in 1985 when I had my first memory.
