Brian R's Story
Life
After graduating from TCHS in '59 I worked in a Gulf gas station for about 6 months and then I said "hey" this is hard work! I had no ambition to go to college, but U of M would have been my first choice. So, after much thought I decided to join the USAF in February of '60 and see the world! I went to Texas for 3 weeks for basic training, which actually was a real eye opener. I was then sent to Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS for technical school and to finish basic training. I went to radio electronics school for 10 months and then was assigned to Hahn AFB in Germany for 3 years. I worked at a missle site maintaining all the communications equipment for 2 years and then telephone maintenance for the remainder of my hitch in Germany. I have to say that my tour in Germany was one of those "incredible highs" of my lifetime. I came back to the "world" in February of "64. I spent ...Expand for more
the next 5 years trying different careers trying to find my "perfect job". In October of '69 I landed a job at Xerox Corporation as a Tech Rep servicing all their copiers. I found that "perfect job" I loved it! In '95 I put in for a job transfer to Florida and moved to Gainesville FL in May of '95. In late 2000 I was diagnosed with cancer, went through chemo, transplant and I attempted to go back to work in June of '02. I worked until September of '02 when my cancer came back again. This time I had to have a blood stem cell transplant and my brother, Wayne Price, who lives up in Marquette MI was a perfect donor!!!! I have been cancer free now for over 10 years. Xerox retired me in July of '03 after 34 years and now I just have fun! I travel to MI now every summer to visit family and friends and enjoy the Woodward Dream Cruise....I'm still into classic and muscle cars.....Amen
