Dave's Story
Following graduation I attended the University of Illinois for one year before winning an appointment to the Naval Academy. I graduated with the class of ¿64 and went on to nuclear power training and submarine school. My first shipboard duty station was the Polaris submarine Daniel Webster home ported at Charleston, SC. From Webster I joined the commissioning crew of the attack submarine Spadefish, which was under construction at Newport News, VA. I left active duty in 1970 and worked in commercial nuclear power at Duke Power Co. in Charlotte, NC and a subsidiary of Westinghouse in Jacksonville, FL.

nd now regard East Tennessee as home. While at Annapolis I met my first wife, Carolyn. During our 23 years together we raised a daughter (Christine) and a son (Kent). I remarried in 1989; my wife (Carol) and I have a daughter (Mary Ann) who will enter American University just a few weeks prior to the class reunion. I am now semi-retired and enjoy spending as much time as possible at our condominium in Sarasota, FL. I¿ve returned to Chicago only a few times over the years, partly because my folks moved to Memphis, TN in 1964. The most recent visit was in 2006, at which time I re-explored Roseland and West Pullman including of course Fenger High. Over the years I¿ve found that these words ring true, ¿My heart is in Chicago wherever I may roam¿. w4qcu at prodigy dot net.
