Other Comments (memories of school days / hobbies / favorite music / etc.):
Memories:There are so many and unfortunately the most vivid ones are of the snow storms we had.
Hobbies: Taking our car (a restored 1975 Corvette coupe) to many (15-20) car shows around the state during the summer (I think there is usually one in Clear Lake on the 4th of July), working on the “Vette”, collecting diecast car and trucks, working in the yard, and tinkering in the garage. Sharon’s hobbies are bellydancing (has been bellydancing since the age of 48), crafts, sewing and baking & decorating all types of cakes.
Favorite Music: I like any music/songs from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I especially ‘dig’ “Winchester Cathedral” by the New Vaudeville Band, “These Boots Are Made For Walkin” by Nancy Sinatra and performed by Sharon at our daughter’s high school dance and talent show in 1994 or 1995 and “Wooly Bully” by Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs performed by me at the same show (I think I have a video of both-might be good for a laugh).
