I quit high school after i transfered to west jeff. I couldn't get enough passing grades there,andi could not understand why. So i quit,and started working. after a couple of years the draft cought up with me. so i went and joined the army. After basic training i
went to a Non Camissioned Officers training school. 16 August 1969 i started my jurney. First it was Fort polk. Then it was Fort Leonardwood,Missouri wher i learned to
opperate a BullDozer.While in A.I.T. i came home for christmas and got married to my first wife. Then it was off to N.C.O. School. That ment that after graduation it was garrentied VeitNam.I did graduate from there as
an E-5 Sargent.Then it was off to Nam.

ank and half the ones on the east bank. Good ridins have a good life! I could never forgive her for that! We were divorced. In 1973 i Married my 2nd wife to whom i am still married to Connie. I don't think that any of you would know her because she is from liffite. Her maiden name is schaffer. We had 2 kids 1 boy 1 girl. They are grown and
have families of their owne. ! grand daughter isabela Burciaga. I worked at avondale shipyard for 26 years as a
automations mechanic. They put me out to pasture. because in 2004 I went out with heart trouble. When i went to go back with restrictions(lifting
and walking up stairs)They told me that i had to be 100% no restrictions
to come back. After 6 months started
recieveing socialsecurity. That was the besr thing that they had ever done
for me. That plus my V.A.disability we
are doing FINE ! enjoying life. i get up in the morning an do what this a--
hole wants to do not some other a--hole that i couldn't stand wants me to do ! That's about it .
Have a great day! Calvin
