Dude. I went to Frederick High! Funny enough, I think my dad graduated from TJ a few years before you but you may have graduated with my mom haha small world.

Yeah, I went to TJ. Graduated in 1979. I'm still in Frederick (Fredneck as the old time locals call it) but I make the trip to Jacksonville every chance I get to see the Jags play. Now, if you're wondering HOW I became a Jags fan, that's easy...... I was living in Jax when they got the team. This was after the Colts left Baltimore in the middle of the damn night and BEFORE the Ravens (Old Cleveland Browns) moved in. I came back to Maryland before that and just stuck with the Jags. Yeah, I get grief from my Daughter and Son In Law because they just happen to live in PA and are Steelers fans but..... since I was hardly around when she was growing up (Her mother split on me and moved out of state) I didn't get the chance to raise her right...... (Then again, I was too much of a drunken [BLEEP] back then to care so... It's partly my fault too)

I basically lived my entire childhood in Frederick. Went to Ballenger ES and Ballenger MS.

First legal beer I had was at Wags. 

I had a Jaguars starter jacket in 4th grade and I’ve been a fan ever since.

Small world man. Well if I ever see you out and about in Frederick (I live in Damascus but still head up there to see my folks), I’ll buy you a beer.
