Graduated in 1985 from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a BS in mechanical engineering.
I'm sure you attended UCSB during those years, too..
Damn.. What a good time that was.
Yep, my older brother lived there at the time. I was broke, he was loaded. Fished the Channel Islands, chased shows at the Arlington Theater (GT and the Destroyers, John Sebastian, James Brown and others), played on State Street , drank at the Elephant Bar and wrapped it up with tacos the morning after at Rose Cafe. A bowl of chili and a beer on the return to SLO via Cold Spring Tavern on 154 was killer. When I retire I will go back and do that routine once more, at least. Short of the biotch of the engineering school crunch, life (and future wife) was grand. Used to shoot in pin matches with Aaron Hogue in Atascadero and still have a pair of his Dad's original grips. I remember watching Aaron hand checker grips back then. I had a job offer to work at Diablo Canyon and thought, man that's dangerous schit. Instead I went to work in a refinery where a "boom" occured three weeks later...
