The quiet, suburban town of Davis holds a secret in its rather prestigious high school. Yes, over the years, Davis Senior High School has been in the top ten high schools in the country in both academics and athletics. However, there has been a secret looming over the quiet town for decades until August of 1988, when two great friends arrived to the high school. Steven Cooper had the perfect life working as a shadow for the local lawyer in the city and had a witty friend, Jared Martin. However,…

and over the span of several months he included the trees in many of his paintings. He was so pleased with the painting Wheat Field with Cypresses that he made two replicas of it. The original is hanging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City while one near identical studio version of it is located in the National Gallery in London. The other was a smaller version he made for his mother and sister that is currently being held in a private collection (“Wheat Field with Cypresses”).…

I made my first friend after a straight week of being alone--eating by myself in my room or at the dining halls while my housemates hit it off as if they’d been best friends forever, which I complained to you about several times (“How the hell can people who’ve known each other for days act as though they’ve been best friends forever, and pretend…

When Charlie turned 16, we purchased a 1979 Firebird like the one in figure 171 for him to drive. It was rougher than Gina’s car, but I rebuilt the engine, and it proved to be reliable transportation for school and work. Rick wanted a Mustang, and we purchased a 1966 6 cylinder Mustang like the one shown in Figure 172. Though the price was comparable to Charlie’s and Gina’s cars, by the time we sold the car, it turned out to be the most expensive car I have ever owned- even the Honda…
