  • Jeff Hellweg edit x - Would you please write to me? I'll be there for the 20th!!!
  • Bob Hewson edit x - Well, most of you still remember me from the good old days. Hey Mike, Robin, the Gang. It's been a while.Boy we had some good times. I still remember the day we all came to school in diapers, and then decided to throw monkey feces at the chess club. Does anybody remember our senior prank? that was my idea, oh yeah. After AAHS, I went to Las Vegas to serve drinks but later, after four or five failed marriages, I decide to sell passports to Haitians. That lasted only a few months. After that, I thought it was about time to reevaluate my life and decided to raise a family. After loosing the first two kids while playing a very intense game of "hide and seek" in Compton, I left my wife (or she left me) and moved to Wyoming. My good friend Tedd Kasinski and I started to work very closley with the Postal Service but I decided it was a bit too technical for me, and he decided to work alone. shortly thereafter, i developed my photograohy talents and became something of a paparazzi. my best work was in france in th 90's when i got some great pics of Princess Di in her limo. Later, I earned an Associates degree for computer programming, but spent some time in the Pen for "pictures of minors," as they called it, circulating on the internet originating from my basement.Even though I insisted they call it a dungeon. Thats about all for me, a fairly hum-drum life. It would be great to hear from you. good-bye all.
