At St. Ignatius for high school, it was prominent cybersecurity expert Dan Kaminsky, who unfortunately passed in 2021. At UCLA for college, it would have been Doug Rockwell, who is now a Chief Engineer at a major defense contractor. At U.C. College of Law San Francisco for law school, it was certainly William Skinner, who shot the moon by transferring to Stanford Law after his first year-- never happens! He is a prominent tax attorney and a partner at Fenwick & West. Way to make me feel like I'm not keeping up, guys! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Kaminsky https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-r-0ba522169/ https://www.fenwick.com/people/william-r-skinner #Education Mon, 01 Dec 2025 06:02:46 -0800 shithead from private IP Reply #11005216 I was valedictorian. My intellectual archnemesis was a year older, and is now a state supreme court justice.

College would be Ravil Ashirov who also went to Michigan Law from UW-Milwaukee and is now a JAG. Michigan law is Alexi Ehrlich who is clerking for Justice Gorsuch. He was the only guy I knew at Michigan law and went "wow, this guy is smart.". The professors knew it too. If anyone in my class ends up on the Supreme Court it will be him and deservedly so. He should at least be a federal judge. Also graduated top of the class at Michigan.

Only one blonde girl became a pharmacist and I became a lawyer. The rest are some straight up losers. All my ex best friends are mostly just doing nothing. My former BFF frienemy is living with some old dude in Elgin and has 4 kids by 3 guys. Actually though, there was one chick. Her dad was an old white dude and her mom was Mexican. She was extremely smart and nerdy even when we were young. She was working briefly as like this independent journalist living in Istanbul. She works at some philanthrophy group as a grants coordinator and ended up getting a masters in political science. Its crazy because she looks exactly the same as middle school. She had this round face that just doesn't age at all. The guys mostly are working like blue collared jobs. Some became alcoholics. This one chubby fat Puerto Rican guy who was the class clown became an accountant. Thats it. There are also like 2 realtors.

Hahaha. Always keep in touch with the bad ones. Mon, 01 Dec 2025 13:02:35 -0800 marlon from private IP Reply #10636217 one dude for whom i wrote his term papers is now making big $$ as a gov't employee. my taxes pay his salary. such is life. a classmate & snitch now runs the school https://fbsdavison.com/ Tue, 02 Dec 2025 15:35:45 -0800 doublefriedchicken from private IP Reply #18012683 The valedictorian became a community college professor. the "true" valedictorian was a friend who got a zero on a test for going to some outside event for scouts. He works on various start ups. The dude that most money is an entrepenour who played football for alabama. Jocks have done really well (clique theory?) much better than the smarties. There are lot of successes and total disasters without much in between.

One is head of engineering for a company that makes components for wind turbines and other green energy tech components. The other is head of a surgical department at an Ivy League teaching hospital. Then there's me, a lowly trust and estates lawyer, practicing in the Midwest.

The smartest guy I went to college with though, flamed out and is now a low level coder somewhere last I heard. He was one of those "so damn smart he can't bathe or have social skills" kind of people. He dropped out of engineering school second year after not sleeping for a long long time and just screwed around after that as far as I can tell.Replies require login.
