What I did at Astroworld

I started in Parking lot night shift with the lovely white pants, yellow cap, and collarless yellow, blue, and orange shirt. Got promoted to Foreman then lead foremen, all on night shift. Went on to wear the even more beautiful green pants with yellow shirt/green trim. I then became a fulltime security officer in 1980. Worked evening and graveyard shifts.When waterworld was about to open, myself and another security officer took advanced lifesaving couse in Pasadena with Jeff Ellis.We had the 3 day crash course in the COLD pool. Went to Florida in May of 1983 to go to work at Six Flags Atlantis. Worked Merchandise/games/attractions there ti; park was sold in 1988.

What I want to share with you.

I have always loved the band "CheapTrick". They performed at the park one night and I was lucky enough to work the stage at the concert. After the concert, my dept. mgr. Ronie Dunn aid he had something he wanted me to do. As it turned out, I got to escort Robin Zander, the lead singer of the band, throughout the park for the remainder of the night while he road the rides and played the games. After he was through, I took him back to the Admin. building, where the limo was waiting to take him away. As he was getting ready to leave, he asked if I wanted the band's autograph, which of course I did. Then he asked if I had a girlfriend (I did) and he said that they would be playing in Houston again in a few weeks. He took my name and said that he would have tickets for the both of us waiting at the door. I couldn't believe it! We did go to the concert when they came back and I had a great time. It just goes to show that there are a lot of famous people out there that are really NICE too!
