Highschool

I received my 8th-12th grade education at Jesuit High School in New Orleans, and graduated in 1989. Those times certainly were a blur. Growing up in New Orleans wasn't all that easy (I'm now just starting to realize this), and I'm actually quite lucky I made it through alive. I could legally drive (by myself) when I was 15, and legally drink when I was 18. Needless to say, my buddies and I jumped the gun a little bit on some things. New Orleans was an 18 year ongoing party for me. Actually, it was just prep for LSU (known to Louisiana natives as "The Thirteenth Grade.") But that's for another page...

	Jesuit High School Luau - February, 1986 Jesuit High School Gym, New Orleans, LA Man. What nerds we were.
	Ricky's 1986 Nissan 200sx - August, 1987 My parent's house, New Orleans, LA This was the car I was lucky enough to have for a total of 3 weeks.
	Jesuit Winter Party - December 9th, 1988 Jesuit High School Cafeteria, New Orleans, LA My first rock and roll band, Kahuna, and my first gig. I started playing guitar when I was in the hospital after the car wreck because I couldn't do a whole lot else. There's a page now dedicated to this wonderful little high school band, so check it out. If you want to see what I've been doing lately on guitar (and a whole bunch more pics), go see my band Cousin It's website.
	Hot Tubbing - Spring, 1989 My parents' house, New Orleans, LA Where'd our dates go ?!?!?!?!!????
	Jesuit High Homecoming Dance - November, 1987 Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, LA Just your average dance picture. The only thing that's notable (but thankfully not noticeable!) is that I am wearing some... ummm... "prosthetics..." because of my wreck.
	Jesuit High School Junior-Senior Prom - May, 1989 My parents' house, New Orleans, LA Just proving again how big of nerds we were. We're doing the "stoic" pose and wearing Wayfarers and black shark skin cowboy boots.
	Jesuit High School Senior Prom - May, 1989 Bayou Plaza Hotel, New Orleans, LA Here it is - the big finale. Senior prom. I, again, am dressed like a buffoon. I wore my good ol' K-Swiss Classics and a gold foil tie and cumberbun.
	Jesuit High School Graduation - May, 1989 My '80s custom van My parents' Oh, I was such the hippie then. What the hell is that with the peace sign? This is high school graduation day. Check out the custom van - a true sign of the '80s.
