>>> Jack, I read that you are from Missouri, do you still there, and where do you reside? I teach and coach at Carl Junction high school outside of Joplin. <<<

Hi Denny

I grew up and attended high school in Jefferson City. I moved back and coached in the Babe Ruth league after leaving Honeywell (Boston, Houston, Tulsa and points in-between). I now reside in So. CA. --- I will be retiring soon and thinking about moving back again. I really miss the Missouri people and life style.

Dennis, you know you’re from Missouri if:
1. You’ve never met any of those celebrities.
2. Everyone in your family has been on a “float trip.”
3. You see the big bands ten years AFTER they were popular.
4. You measure distance in minutes rather than miles.
5. Down south to you means Arkansas.
6. You know several people who have hit a deer.
7. I am sure you could add to this list.
