CHS Class of 86

I lost most of my high school memorabilia in Charleston when Hurricane Hugo hit, so I really don't have anything from those days....

Sometime between Oct 87 (Botson Third Stage concert in BR) and Dec 87 (when I went active Navy)....

I'm usually the one taking the pictures, so images of me are scarce. If I feel up to breaking the camera, I'll get my wife to take one.

John, found this one in my photo collection....you looked so young & innocent.....

Dear lord, I had no idea what the future had in store.

Hey, I remember that ring. It's at the bottom of the Bogue Chitto river. Thanks Rebbecca (Jennifer Shuff's little sister).

Hey John, my first wedding ring is somewhere on the bottom of the Watauga River in Boone/Valley Crucis, North Carolina...A Fly fishing trip gone bad....but the marriage lives on strong!

I lost mine on my honeymoon playing volleyball in gulf shores...quickly replaced by Noel of course!

It took Jackie about two years to decide if she was going to keep me after that, but she replaced it as an aniversary gift.
