Austin Housh: headed to Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science
We found Austin Housh one evening at Southgate Lanes and started talking. The next thing you know, we were taking notes. Here's what we came up with.
Austin, when did you graduate from Bluffton High School?
2012.
What are you doing this year?
I'm attending OSU-Lima now. Next semester I'll attend Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. It's a 15 month course. Then there's a one-year apprenticeship. I'll be finished in 2016.
Who did you sit beside in kindergarten?
(Long pause). It might have been Logan Skelly. Mrs. Luginbuhl was our teacher. She was awesome, nice, funny and a great teacher.
What's the worst movie you ever saw?
I went to "The Green Lantern" on its premiere night. I enjoyed the comics but not the movie.
I notice you are wearing a Green Lantern t-shirt. I suppose its in honor of the comic not the movie. How many detentions did you get in school?
Three. Two tardies and one that I'm sure about.
What was the worst grade you ever received?
In shop I received a C on a poker table that I made. It didn't come out very good. But, I still have the table.
What car did you drive when you took your driver's test?
A 1995 Ford Taurus. I passed. I was nervous.
How about music. What interests you?
I listen to music on my phone. Probably have a couple hundred tunes. I like classic rock.
What's your definition of classic rock?
Lynrd Skynrd, those kind of guys.
Tell me about your best-ever bowling game.
I bowled a 279 last year. Toward the end I got nervous and messed up.
How long have you been a bowler?
Since fourth or fifth grade. I'm a sub on the Wednesday night league.
If you won a million dollars - tax free - in the lottery, what would you do with it?
I'd pay off my schooling, buy a nice car - something with muscle - and probably buy a house.
Have you ever thought about giving yourself another name. You know, other than Austin?
Yeah, I've thought about it. I think it would be Andrew.
What are you really good at?
I'm really good at naming songs. I can hear the first three notes and I've got it.
Hey, thanks for talking with you, I see it's your turn to bowl. Good luck.
