Going Off Course - Take a long look at the attractive young people with Reagan era hairdos in the photo (L). It's obvious that they had been "making out" hot and heavy, isn't it? Mullet boy with the demented grin and a bloodstream full of "horn-mones" is Skippy Studjock, then 18 and star quarterback of the Marshallton Bobcats, circa 1986-'89. The randy girl, her coiffe a casualty of their passion, is Bobcat cheerleader Angie Hop, then 17.

The picture was taken twenty-three years ago. Back then Angie, or "Ang" as she is known to the multitude of people who love her, was voted "Most Likely to Kiss Guys" by her fellow Marshalltown (IA) H.S. students. Not only that, she was...
