Great Friends, Good Times! Especially the "Pre-Tech" classes/course tested for 1 year only, I'm sure due mostly to having the same Students in a 4 period block each Day. Too Much Fun!!! Some of our Students that I can remember most in this "Pre-Tech" test Course are: Scott Murry, Chad Perkins, Dee Higley, Chipper Durst, sorry there were many more but 40+ years ago comes with some memory loss...... I remember most, Chad Perkins & Scott Murray due we were such close friends and had played all Sports together as well. Still have stayed in touch with Chad & Scott to current Day with exception of a Huge Heart Felt Loss of Chad after His Very Strong/Difficult fight with Cancer. I not only lost a Great lifetime friend, also very near as a Brother type bond. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed and cared very much for our Classmates & the numerous+++ friendships made at C.H.S. Thankful for that Very, Very Much Still.................................Thanks Gang ! ! ! !

Kevin Kemp & I were fortunate enough to get out 50+ times together, playing a minimum of 18 holes & several 36 hole rounds ~ Fun Enjoyable Stuff. Kevin & I have been friends & associated since we were 3 years old. Great having Kevin & Cheryl here from Florida for the Spring, Summer, Fall Months allowing us the time to renew & take advantage of our Lifetime friendship. We had a Blast even able to play in a few Tournaments, 1 in Nevada.>>>>>>> Just out of High School, worked as a Auto Body & Paint Technician along side Chad Perkins for 2+ years. I then became Body Shop manager as Chad went on to work with his Dad at Perk's Autobody. I managed the large Body Shop in Layton for 15 years. I was approached by Allstate Ins. Co., State Farm Ins. & Farmer's Ins. to work for them as a damage analyisis Technician/Claims Adjuster related to Automobile damages. After about 2 years of Allstate Ins. Claims knocking on my door, I left my management position at the Auto Body Repair/Dealership & took Regional management position, employed by Allstate Ins. Co. I was employed by Allstate for the past 28+ years & have held several different positions but having managed Allstate's Direct Repair program for the past 16 years, I have mangaed 10-12 Individual Auto Repair Technical Skilled Individuals in 5 States: Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada & Oklahoma. I have been able to travel all over the U.S. working in this position to work on Teams focused on Repair Quality Inspections, while being responsible for Customer Service, Care/Concern across the Country. I am a PROUD Grandfather of 10 Grandchildren. Wouldn't trade the "Grandpa" title for anything. Love those Kids ! ! !
