Julie (O’Neill from the class of ’74 ) and I have now been married for 22 years. We still live in Ft Lauderdale and for the most part like it. Our neighborhood is very family oriented and our neighbors are great. Ben our oldest son is now a sophomore at the high school that I teach at. He is ranked 40th in his class of over 1000. School is very easy for him and he is a truly gifted student. He also has been in karate for 7 years and has earned a Black Belt in his discipline. He is currently thinking about going into engineering.
Quin our youngest is in third grade and does well also. He is a lot different than Ben and has an interest in sports. I have coached his little league team for the past four years . We have finished as high as third out of 26 teams. He is currently getting ready for summer basketball leagues.
Julie works in the ER at a near by hospital. She likes doing that for all the variety and without the bedside patient care. I teach math and computers at a nearby high school. We have about 3600 students and are still growing. When you hear about classrooms being crowded, that’s us. It is just hard to imagine how many kids we have and how little space we put them into.
