After 40 years, Randy and Brenda, both alumni of Granite City High School North, reunited as friends. Randy had asked Brenda for a date several times, but Brenda was hesitant. After all, he was the quintessential bad boy who played in a band and rode a motorcycle—the kind that Dad warned her about. Nevertheless, Brenda finally consented to a date, and on January 13, 2018, they shared their first evening together at the Pump House.

Randy, a passionate musician and keyboardist since his high school days, has continuously pursued his love for music. The image depicts the beginning of his journey in Grafton at the Hawg Pit, performing with his initial band, "The Vault."

Randy's surprise 60th birthday was celebrated at the lake house, accompanied by music from the Blue Marlin Band. It was an ideal celebration, encircled by family and friends.
