Bio of Steve Anderson (Bonifield)

I shamelessly lifted this from the Classmates site ;-) Thanks for writing it up Steve! We missed you at the reunion (though somehow it felt like you were there with us...lol)

=========================================================

O.K. here we go...After leaving Serra I moved up and down Cali. I lived and worked in the Bay area for 3 years as a Mechanic in the oil refineries Then moved to Hollywood with a dream to be in music...but found out quickly everyone in L.A. is a aspiring this that or the other, so I bought a one way ticket to Hawaii I think it was 90' or 91' by then. Actually started making and recording music and playing the local spots up and down the island. Did well enough to live a new place, buy cars, clothes, and spend on wild nights in Honolulu!!! then I Met someone who eventually brought me back to the states(Texas) with her in 94' which didn't work out and left me looking for a place to be. That's when I made the move to Kentucky where my parents retired from San Diego to stay for a bit. I quickly got a job or jobs you could say so I could have money...and early in 95' met my beautiful wife. We dated for a year and a half and got married in Oct 96', I have a step son and two of my own(all boys). Then mid 97'the job economy was tough so I decided to join the Army National Gaurd for more income. By this time I was working for Waste Mangmt. as a chemical cleaner at the refineries flushing out lines. Thought to myself it's just a job and not a career, so I decided to go active duty army in Jan. 99' and still in. I've been to Iraq and Afghanistan and will probly go again in later part of 07'. I am writing this bio from school at Ft. Leonardwood, MO. training for a new job. I'm not sure does that add up to 20 years, man how the time flies!
