Bill Goforth:  

I am remarried with two children, Jacklyn 24 and Kathryn 21. Along with my wife Janie, they are the lights in my life. My family moved away from the Baltimore area in May of 1964 so I was unable to attend graduation ceremonies at Kenwood. My sister Pam was a '62 graduate of Kenwood. I remain close to her and her family and visit them as often as possible in Chicago. In later years Pam has developed MS and is now retired. Her older daughter is married and lives and works in the Chicago Area. Her younger daughter is married and lives and works in the Phoenix Area. She's married and has four children. I started college at Cameron State JC in Lawton, Oklahoma, my step-father was employed by Martin Baltimore and had been transferred to Fort Sill to write missile checkout guides. In May of 1965 my step-father died and I moved home with my mother and transferred to Youngstown State to finish my degree. During that time, I worked my way through college with various jobs at McDonalds, Youngstown Sheet and Tube, Siamac's Furniture, and Youngstown City Parks and Recreation.

But distance took it's toll and I inevitably got my "Dear John" letter. She met a guy a on a weekend retreat, they started dating and were married right after graduation. Everything works out for the best. She was a devout Catholic and I was not convinced that I wanted to be one. Ironies of ironies, my first teaching job was at a Catholic school where the principal, Sr. Noreen, was so convinced that I was a model Catholic that she wanted me to teach religion. I had to remind her that I wasn't Catholic. After college I pursued a career in teaching and later education sales. Notable companies I worked for were Apple and Gateway Computer. I am currently EVP of Sales and Marketing for Lesson Planet. We are an Internet company that delivers instructional resources to teachers. I moved to California in 1976 an...Expand for more
