I’m not so sure about this. I hung out at the computer lab, all right, but I was definitely not an A scholar. I didn’t do homework, I cut just about every class to go to the computer lab. This was 1973-74, btw. There weren’t any home computers yet.

 In high school, you were acing AP classes or hanging out in the computer lab. You may have been a bit of a geek back then, but now you’re a total success! |

It is a subject dear to my heart these days. I finally realized that high school and college were just as much about making or learning to make personal relationships as learning math and science. My ability to relate to people seems to have been derailed during those times. I think that I had mental illness, but it was masked by all of the distractions and goals. I finally self destructed a couple of years after college. I have kept in touch with college friends, and they know what I have gone through. It is not the case for high school. Last time I was in Pa was in 1985. Nowadays I am having success contacting my old classmates. They seem to be shocked. Like Scrooge sending a turkey on Christmas day, haha. The contact seems to be extremely important to me. Its like I want to tell people- “That really wasn’t me that you knew!” Nobody knew me because I would never let anyone be close to me. I guess all of this isn’t so unusual. My best friend has told me that it is essential to forgive myself for the past.
