The "Captain" worked his way through High School and College at Grand Junction Pizza from 1979 to 1986.  He did everything: Cook, Washer, Driver, Night Manager, Prep, Cash Register, cutting table, and Drinks. 

His favorite thing to do was announcing over the intercom when people's pizza was ready to pickup.  With his announcer voice, he would say "Number 23, number 23, your pizza is ready".  The patrons loved it and told him he need to go into the radio business.

When the work was over the fun began.  He would always make a medium pizza and pour a pitcher of beer to finish the night off before going home.  There was always a late night B movie after midnight to watch until 2-3am.

Captains brother "Doug" worked at GJ's too.

His special talent was chugging a pitcher of beer in less than 15 seconds.  Captain was on the photography staff at JJ Pearce High School and took pictures for the Annual and the Pony Express Newspaper.  His favorite car was his 1978 Fiat Spider convertible which he used to use as a prop to take pictures of JJ Pearce High School cheerleaders.  He loved that car so much after he had sold it he still had dreams about it.
