WHO
WAS YOUR FAVORITE TEACHER AND WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS SUBJECT?
I would have to split this between Pete Tryon who encourage me to take
computer classes and Merle Askleand who influenced my business sense.

WHAT
ARE YOUR BEST MEMORIES OF HS?
Some of my favorite memories of high school was going to the senior prom
in a tuxedo; the challenge of running for senior class president against
Jeb Downing; the after prom party I had at the Captain Cook Hotel and
getting caught because Rob Williams pulled the fire alarm; going to
every concert that came into town; having a fake id to buy alcohol;
going to kegger parties; the lunch bet Kelley Butler and I had with Mr.
Tryon on the proper pronunciation of Denali (Tryon won); four wheeling
behind Totem Theaters; going to the OEA State and then National
Competition in Columbus, Ohio (only my second trip out of AK); that I
was going to be the "first" girl bodybuilder in the Mr. Bartlett contest
until I found out I was going to the OEA Competition in Ohio (it was the
same weekend); cruising the strip with my good friends Kelley Butler,
Cindy Huhn, Ginger Hutson, Laurie Wiles, Dawn Moe, Correna Krook, Renee Law, Donna Davis, and Annette Parker and the many limo rides we all shared.
I also remember my
one visit to the principal office when Cindy Huhn's boyfriend wrote in black permanent marker two
big hearts with all our names in it across the purple hall carpet.

WHAT
WAS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN HS?
I never had anything happen to me that was extremely embarrassing. I do
remember, however, cruising the strip to show off my car that I just
bought and I hadn't mastered how to drive a stick yet. I stalled the
car at every light and my friends just laughed at me! I also remember
another time when I had just had my car windows tinted and I went
cruising the strip with all my friends but because the windows weren't
dry yet, we had to open the doors to talk to guys! Too funny!
|
WHAT
IS SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO DO IN HS BUT NEVER DID?
Although I wouldn't change anything because the challenges I faced back
then made me who I am today, I've always wished I could have tried out
for cheerleading (I had to work). After building this web site, I also
wished I had the opportunity to go with the German students to Germany
and the other countries they visited over the 1985-86 long summer. It
looks like they had a lot of fun and what a great experience!
