Bill Barker:  

It has been a while since I was Marlboro, I think it was in 1992. I spent a few days there before I moved out here to Arizona. As some of you know I made it to our 25th reunion. I really enjoyed myself that night. I was in the Navy for 9 years, five of which I was on a flight crew, looking for submarines. I got out and worked as a consultant to the Navy for 14 years.

I am currently living with my dog, Ollie, still help people with their computers, and go to the gym a few times a week to get some exercise. I am also a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. I regularly help with various charitable fund raisers to stay busy. I spent a couple of days in Marlboro in August of 2013. There have been a lot of changes since I was last there in 1992.
