Charles's Story
Life
After SDHS I joined the US Army, serving 14 months in Korea, and about that long at Ft. Bliss, TX. I met a lot of "good people" while I was in the Army, and still keep in touch with several of them. I left the Army to attend college (found out if I wanted to be an officer in the Army I had to have a college degree). Now I have 3 degrees, and decided I didn't want to be an officer anyway. I've been married for over 52 years, to the same lovely lady. We have two children, a 33 yr old daughter who is a teacher for the Cajon Valley School District, and a 39 yr old son who works for property management firm and is a great dad to my grandson. I also served in the California Army National Guard in a tank unit for 11 years (while working fulltime for them as an administrator & training management specialist).

rmy Reserves. In all I spent 27 years in uniform (not counting 4 yrs in the JROTC) and belonged to the US Army for a total of 32 years and 10 months.. I retired from all the military stuff in December 1996. I re-entered the military scene as a Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2) in the California State Defense Force - State Military Reserves. I was a member of the California Center for Military History assisting with the development of a museum in the National Guard armory on Mesa College Drive in San Diego. I retired from that a number of years ago. I worked for the 2010 Census as a Field Supervisor in the Quality Control section. I have actually been dealing with cancer for the last 14 years. I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer in 2005: got operated on that year, and a few years later the cancer reemerged. But, I'm moving forward despite of it. I will eventually win!
