I for one was bookish then and am bookish now. I also took every
form of shop available when I was in high school (Lane Tech
Chicago) and won an award for "best in class" for machine shop for
the year, when over 1000 took the class.

>machine shop when in high school? :-)
I have played almost every sport you can name, although the only regular possible sport I still participate in is the occasional sailing jaunt, and my thrice weekly trip to the weight room.
I was an Aircraft electrician in the Marines, my degree's in biology, and am a Union Electrician currently (10 years) working as a network engineer for Ameritech, the midwest RBOC.
I also write the occasional Haiku:
Teaism
and now the tea
enjoying life sip by sip
nothing is better
As Heinlein said "specialization is for insects." ;)
