Carson High graduation: 1978
Most memorable experience: "As for my fondest memory of Carson High, the pep rallies where my good friends and teammates - Chris Anderson, Keith Forbes, Jim Tatro, Paul Manoukian and Ricky Pitts - and I enticed the crowd into a frenzy while dancing to the Steve Miller Band hit 'Jet Airliner, would be near the top of the list. The crowd was rockin' and we always gave it our all. Coach Andreason probably wished we had practiced hoops as hard as we worked on the basketball court during those pep rallies."
