The CheckerBoard

Born and raised in Nashville, FRA (92) - Graduated UTK 99' - Moved to Los Angeles for one year after graduating and have been a resident of Camas, WA (Portland, OR suburb) for the last 12 years.

Born and raised here in Myrtle Beach. Family moved here before I was born. They are from Loudon and Lenoir City.

Stopped in Hartsville on the way back from seeing Dave Matthews with the wife a few years back. We both had a hangover and stopped at a country buffet with a woman's name. The fried okra was made by angels. Good hangover food. We need to hit Peaches when you come in. Saw my buddy the owner Halloween night

I was and I wasn't. My dad was some sort of mechanic in the 70s for the Army but he was a dirtbag and went AWOL. So I was born in TX, but my social security number is from California...where he was transferred to. I didn't list that because I can't possibly remember it.

Starting with Great Lakes, the addresses were from when I was in the Navy, up until I was in Gurnee. I lived directly across the street from Six Flags then.

I'd be a fool to be honest, wouldn't I? Lol

Most of the moves until Great Lakes was a result of my step dad looking for work. He was a truck driver back then. There was a period of time where I went and lived with family elsewhere as well.

I could have included Harrisburg and Great Lakes twice. I lived in Harrisburg two separate times. Once in 83-85 and again in 92. I was in Great Lakes in 97-98 and again from 03-07.

Joining the Navy added to my zip codes and I have lived in the Chicago area more than any other area, sadly. Missouri is catching up, though.

The final moves in MO have been a result of leaving the Navy, finding a job and relocating. Divorce. Found an apartment fast and moved to a cheaper one a year later. I then moved to St Charles to be closer to my soon to be wife. We got married a few months later and are now building a home.

It's been a long journey. I'm hoping to finally call a place home. I wish it was Knoxville, but I'll take what I can get.

Great picture! +1

Born in Chattanooga, raised in the football wasteland that is SE MIssouri. Raised properly as a Vols fan, and thankfully we got the old Jefferson Pilot/Lincoln Financial games. Came to Nashville for college in 2000, and stayed. Now I'm in Spring Hill.

Born and raised on Long Island. Currently live in Morrisville, NC.

Went to UT for grad school 95-97.

I envy your time as a student in Knoxville. Those were the good times. I got to see 2 SECCG seasons and 2 losing seasons. And to make it even better, they fired Phil the semester I graduated. Fun times!
