Hey, I'm Darren Francisco, I know most of the people on the forum so far. Rode the bus with over half the school it seems like. Enjoyed the years at Booker T. and I even keep in touch with a few of them these days.
Good work on the site Dan

OkieDawg, have you caught any OkieBugs recently? JK, I think the last time I saw you was about 2-1/2 years ago at a Drillers vs. Rangers exhibition game when I was hanging out w/ Joey.

Glad to see you made your way over.

No wonder you`re all mixed up. You got a white man`s 1st name, a Spanish man`s 2nd name and a black man`s 3rd name.

Darren! What up! Good to see you here.

Kevin Berry sent me the information on the web site, and I see he hasn't shown up yet. I guess I need to give him a kick or two....

Little did I know at the time that the best part of my education happened at Booker T. Washington. What I learned from Elmer Davis, Jim Kirk and Andy Zoeller has far outlasted anything that came from the university level.

Now I live in Hollywood, making music for indie films. I'm best known for the "Pie Scene" music for "American Pie" and music for a documentary about a porn star (don't get me started on what that did to my career...any association with that industry--however remote--is like a stink that won't wash off)

Music and Art are still my life's work. I give much of the credit to BTW.

On my 40th birthday, several old class-mates contacted me. That's part of what led me here. I'm glad to see the rest of you guys still kickin'

Hey Dan,
Your website has pretty much been the focus of several of my evenings lately, I'm really enjoying the responses it's receiving. I have to admit I have spent a lot of time in some old yearbooks putting faces and names together but it's been a blast and rekindled some of the best memories of my life. Super Job!
