No. Not a flirt.
12. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
I was in orchestra, choir and Pop Singers. Loved it.

Nope. I never got in trouble.

Oh, God, yes. I still know every, single word. "Central! We sing to Central! To the finest in Da-KO-ta!"
I'm not proud of that.

Grand Forks Central High School

1985

We were the "Redskins". Political correctness wasn't yet in vogue. The mascot was an "Indian". It's since been changed to the "Knights". I've always wondered how that worked for the girls' teams?
21. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
Once was enough.

Lately, more than I have in MANY years. The magic of Facebook.
