Jimtown High School Elkhart, Indiana Graduated 1977 “Now when I was a little chap I had a passion for maps. I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in all the glories of exploration. At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a map (but they all look that) I would put my finger on it and say, When I grow up I will go there.” -- The narrator, in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1902)
