Robert's Story

Hi Everyone; My name is bob orvis, i went to stryker high school back in 1969 thru 1972 and graduated. I'ts been 40 yrs ago. I was born in Taylor Michigan and moved to Ohio to live with my cousins steve and scott Carroll out on RR# 2 just south of town. I played basketball 1 season and then i went to 4 county vocational school for two yrs. and studied small engine service and repair. After graduation i went back to michigan to my aunt mary's homewho lived next door to where i grew up. Later that yr., i got a job at chryslers in aug. worked 89 days and got laid off. I didn't get called back so i went to Georgia and worked at the farmers market till oct. I then left there and headed to Denver colorado. Iworked for a doctor who was a chiropractor and a hypnotist. I fixed up apartments that he owned for an apartment to live in . While working for the doctor at 20-30 hr. a week, i also got a part time job at Denver university cleaning offices. I went back to michigan again for christmas tnen back to denver. I met a guy that sung in a band named greg, he did songs from K.C. and the Sunshine band.We hung out together for a couple of months and he interduced me to a guy who could play a guitar as good as hindrix could play. I thought this guy should be in a band and play in a consert. I found out later that the guy was Jimmy Page from the group Led Zeppelin . After a couple of months more, i went home to michigan. I had a friend who had written me a letter and told me that if you ever get a chance...Expand for more
, to come and see me, come and see me. She told me that she now lives in california so, i went to cali to see her. She was with another guy by the time i went to see her, so i said hello and hi to her boyfriend had a couple of beers and left. I hung out for a few months and got a job at a mobile home factory thru a guy i meet on the street. I went back home to michigan and got a job doing electrical signs for 5 yrs. In 1988 i met a woman, got married, and divorced after 13 yrs. My wife and i were together for 10 yrs. and in 1999 i lost her, our home, and my job all in 1 month. In november of that yr., i moved to Phoenix, Az. my little brother lives there, i went to visit him in may for a week and liked the place so i moved there, hell i was single again so what the heck. Well i got a job at pro chem as a tester and inspector. Worked 2 yrs. and 3 months and they sold the co to someone in colorado so i was out of a job. So here i am still in az, I am going to school now i'm taking some classes to get a degree in web design and or web development, a job like that pays 92,000 a year. I met a woman in prescott AZ. in2005 and we got married in sept of 06 and we are still going. Now were up to date. Oh; by the way , i just had my 60th birthday on sept. 23rd 2012 now were up to date . I heard som of my classmates moved to Az also, 1 lives within 1/2 a mile from me. Well may be i will run into them one day. It's time i close this story for now. Good Health and good luck to all Robert orvis or bob
