I took a computer class at CHS. The basketball coach (what was his name?) obviously got on someones bad side and was forced to teach the class. I think they were Apple II e's, and his first words to the class were "so how do you turn this thing on?"

I took the class our senior year....Apple IIE's I think....but was already pretty versed. Got my first computer in '79 (Atari 400), and by the time the CHS class came around, I was already programming in BASIC and PASCAL.

Brazele (sp?). I had him as a coach/teacher at River Forest too. Yeah, he really had no business teaching that class.

I believe it was Coach Anderson (Sustin's dad??) I had him for Computer Science, and needless to say, I didn't learn a thing. He should have stuck to sports!!
