David's Story
Life
High School was pretty good, met many wonderful kids. After high school, went to Devry Insitute for a Degree in Electronics.. But got drafted to Vietnam before completion, was an MP in Nam for 1 year (better than the rice paddies), returned to U.S. and held a number of tech jobs in succession which boosted me to Electronics Engineer much faster than the college degree path could have. Married Robin Scholz (LHHS-72) and happily married for 31 years, no children. During my marriage, Robin and I did many fun things: skiing, scuba, travel, etc. No kids to tie us down.. Robin passed away Oct-2003 from complications related to a flu. I died with her, for about 6 months, came back out of my slump, now have an active art hobby, writing an illustrated childrens book a...Expand for more
nd have my own art gallery (can be found on the net at Renderosity as davidoblad). Currently am Chief Engineer at Trigon Electronics designing and programming Security systems, making great salary.
English and Math were my worst subjects.. so I became a writer and programmer.. who woulda thunk? I'm buying a home in SB (CA). I have 2 cats, 1 dog and many great friends, each trying to hook me up with the ladies.. I'm starting to think about re-marriage, I liked the married life. Still healthy and active. Hair turned gray at 30.. (stress?) but helped in job market.. I have a wicked sense of humor and life is pretty good. Last goal to achieve is getting rich and retire before 60, to writing childrens and Sci_Fi books. Hope you all are doing well! Best to ya.. Dave :^)
