Biff Raleigh - Millard, Omaha, NE
November 24th, 2002 by Will
People used to know me as Biff Raleigh. For most of my early years, that was my name. I won’t go into the long and sordid story of how I came to be called Biff. Needless to say, parents can be cruel. Hey, at least I didn’t have George Forman or Frank Zappa naming me.
I mention it here, because I was trying to dig up an e-mail address or something for some old friends, and I realized if they were ever searching for me, they’d never find me. Now, hopefully, there will be something for their most likely search to hit on.
I can’t find them either. I’m guessing the names are too common, or they’ve changed or they aren’t on the web or my search-fu is not up to snuff. Anyway, I went to Millard North High School in Omana, NE. I graduated in the class of 1988 or the class of ‘88. After that, I went to Kearney State College in Kearney, NE. After that, I went to University of Nebraska at Omaha. After that I got the hell out of Nebraska. Hey, I’m no dummy. It’s cold there a lot and it snows and stuff.
Speaking of searching, a few days ago, the cache that Google had for my site was much more current than the one they have now. I suspect they may have pulled their most recent cache in response to a complaint from that company I’ve been fighting with. Not sure about that, but other things lead me to suspect it’s probably the case. Google seems to play too fast and lose with their indexes. It makes me wonder what else I’m not seeing when I go to find somebody or research a company. I think I need to start looking for a new default search engine.

So what WAS your real name?
You probably don’t remember me. I sat next to you in Journalism/yearbook at MN for two years. You liked to see how badly you could embarrass me by saying words like “masterbation” and “oral sex” in front of me. I think I also earned a bit of my sexual slang education from you…(golden shower comes to mind, but I digress. Obviously I’m over my embarrassment.)The other things I remember about you is that you wrote dark stories about crackheads and listened to metal.
Anyway, back visiting in Omaha today and sitting here with my high school bud, Cheryl Washa, who I haven’t seen in 15 years. We are putting names in the internet of old high school people and look who popped up? Biff Raleigh.
Me since high school…UNL, then masters at KU, then moved to Portland, Oregon and now work for OHSU a medical school. So glad to know you’re still alive and that we both got the hell out of Omaha. Cheryl’s stuck in O, but other than that– doing good too, but she doesn’t think you know her. Good Luck and stuff, Lisa Ferris
