The phrase "Lee High School" brings on in my mind and heart a flood of fond memories of friends, young love, sports, music, guitar, and a host of other feelings too numerous to list here. You form your own image of your self, who you are, what you look like, and what you can do during the high school years, and you never lose that image. So, I see that young person in my mind and sometimes my dreams include old friends, girlfriends, leaping into the air to dunk a basketball (even though I was too short to dunk), etc. Oh, to really be back at that time and place. I have heard so many people say they would never want to go back through that time of life. Not me. I'm ready to go back right now.
Many will remember me as a Bob Dylan junky. Haven't grown out of that. Have seen him in concert dozens of times; too many to count. Last two Dylan shows we attended were Pensacola (July 2011) and Leipzig, Germany (October 2011).

Finn's middle name, Nelson, is a tribute to Lord Nelson. His dad, Jeff, is an Annapolis grad and Lord Nelson is his hero.
