Official Reunion Apparel Online Store
I have set up a site with an "on-demand" printer. Classmate Steve Martin developed this original logo for our reunion.You may order a Premium Tee-shirt in your color choice of red, gray, or white. You may also order a hoodie sweatshirt in either red or gray. The pricing is $20 for a tee, $35 for a hoodie. Bonfire will add sales tax and shippping and handling charges. You pay Bonfire online and they will ship directly to you. The first ordering cycle starts February 12th and closes February 29th. You should have the premiums by mid-March. I will set up a second ordering cycle that will run for a couple of weeks in March with a delivery scheduled for March 31st. PS - the gray color shows first, but you will see a red circle and a white circle. Click to change the color.

About Me
My Background
I graduated from Tioga High School in 1974, started college at LSU-A and graduated from LSU in 1979. After graduating from LSU I served as an Army officer in Korea, the 82nd Airborne Division, and 7th Special Forces Group. I then taught Military Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I moved to Baltimore, was involved in a variety of occupations. I have been a stockbroker, Investment Specialist, retail store owner, event manager, radio talk show host and real estate investor. We moved to North County San Diego a few years ago. I am married to the wonderful Karen Menge and have a great son, Andrew, from my first marriage.
My Hobbies
I enjoy the outdoors, hanging out with my wife, playing with the dogs, and playing music.
My Favorite Things
Karen, Andrew, Layla, Luna and guitars! Life is good!
