I want to say hi to all my homies from the class of 98: Jussi, Brandon, Carlo, Iliya, Bob, Charles, Martin, Peter, Mike and everyone from the class of 98. Thank for making LACES memorable.

I'm still cruising around in my old blue volvo, but I am also restoring a bright orange A.H. Sprite, maybe you will see me crusing through Mar Vista or SM in it one of these days.
Comments: Every now again I wonder what happened to everyone that passed through the doors at LACES. How could that place not have affected how we all turned out? Everyone knows what an odd school it was with no football field, 4th-12th graders wandering the halls together and a graduating class of less than 80 people. Yet, we all seemed to be headed off to better and brighter things.
If you get bored some evening and want to meet up for a coffee just to wax poetic about the old days even if we didn't really talk at LACES feel free to drop me a line.
