Bill Oderkirk's VCS school years recollections – and more:

-kindergarten at American Legion Bldg. With Mrs. Rogers in charge & blankie naps

-1^st grade with Miss Brown, liked her "game board" for showing our learning progress

-3^rd grade with Mrs. Spenser who later loaned me a violin for music practice

-4^th (?) grade with Mr. Graham

-5^th & 6^th grade – a blur

-7^th grade Mr Mykytyn – stern but fair

• 8^th through 12^th grades bit of a blur too except for:

  • Mrs. Kocher,music teacher – big (good) influence!

  • Mrs. Sherman, french & math – another good influence!

  • Ms. Schantz, English & music/theater – ditto

After high school, scholastically, I floundered a bit until I found my own direction and then finished college at U of Rochester and after that a Masters Degree from City University of NYC where I studied Urban Land Use Development. Ever since then I've been self employed in real estate development/renovation/management.

In 1997 I was very lucky to finally meet the love of my life, Christopher Medina, and we've been happily enjoying life together ever since then!

Any other classmates have similar memories?

Please forgive any inaccuracies – I'm not as young as the rest of you!
