Favorite Truman memory or story: Brent Herrick busting out the back window of his Civic with the Bob Squad flag pole when he drove into his garage late one night - waking his parents - tyring to explain that he hadn't been drinking

- Breaking the shopping cart land speed record with Pat Allen (this predates the Jack Ass shows by at least a decade)

- Fearfully skipping school/lunch the first time with Brendan Shepherd...we walked to his house and I think had lunch with his mom

- The Termites opening up for Boisterous Oysters at the Beach Party with Cam Larsen's red V bass and David Burrus' ('87) massive synthesizer

- All things related to Decker Perkins (I'm talking to Random House about publishing these memoirs)

- Mudcat Pass Right, two steps off the line, drilled by Paul Olmstead's pass, plowed by Jim and Tom White for catching it in their linebacker territory (I opted for tennis the following season)

- Coach Anderson, the best coach ever "Come back Shane!", coaching me and Brendan Shepherd, the biggest slackers ever to have almost beaten Rockhurst in tennis, who instead of running through the neighborhood with the team before practice, would lie in wait and take a short cut. Long live #2 doubles.

- The bubble gum incident with Mr. "Boob Tube Mentality" Hubble (English)

- Freshman Debate Class: Passing notes with Angy Webb, non-stop jokes with master debators' Chris Whiting and Paul LeVota

- Meeting Beth Bundschu's parents, my first formal date (they had the coolest new little Apple Mac)

- Bret Yeager's drum solo's for the talent contest

- The unforced nuclear sneeze that interrupted Geraldine Ferraro's speech to the school

...There's no end to these stories...

...Kind regards to all...
