Don's Story

Don is from Weymouth, Massachusetts. He is married. His schools include Weymouth Vo-Tech High School. I work at Windstream Communications. One of Don's favorite quotes is: "Only connect -E. M. Forster". More about Don:"Not much to say, I like Movies, food, I like peace and quiet, and my pets =) I tell it like it is and will not sugar coat things. I favor loyalty over all, and you have to be honest and kind to people.". I was like a stealth fighter in school, not much to say, people did not notice me, people generally do not remember me, its not such a big deal ultimately those who are your true friends last, and others come and go and pass through our lives like seasons. To be totally honest you my class of 88 I originally wanted to go into Automotive Tech, as I am a huge car buff, but like many teens I made the mistake of not taking that class as my full time elective due to not liking some of the kids that were taking that class too, so I chose the next class which was Graphic Arts. Also my bud John Lang whom I hung out with transferred out of the Voc back to S. High and that also had an impact on which course I took. In hind sight, as an adult I care less about others in these regards and should have taken Automotive. My favorite classmates were Dough Bowen, Gary Silvia, Katha Fay, and Chuck P. I worked all though 7th through 12th grade, often working full time hours on top of normal school hours. What most p...Expand for more
eople would not know about me: To be honest the one thing I can say that I know for a fact no one knew about me was that I had an absolute nightmare of a home life. Many people would not have known that about me by meeting me. I stayed away from my home as much as possible, it was just that bad. Hence the working every chance I got. When I got my first car it was all the better. I feel however the cliché term what doesn't kill you makes you stronger is true in my case. I am more grounded and have a much more realistic outlook on things due to this. I am not saying that I did not suffer any depression or anything, I was not a very happy guy up until around 23 or so. I however phased out of that as I got older and made decisions for myself, which included the choice to remove those from my life that were the root causes of my stresses. I have been married for 21 years, I have three dogs, three cats, I am a data center operations technician, I have worked tons of jobs from carpet installer, chef, mechanic, salesman, one job in printing, even manager of security for Nstar, and now my current job. I still love cars and love working on them, this year I just purchased a new 2015 Mustang GT for my birthday and have plans to keep me busy with it =) I do miss the 80s sometimes, and others I am glad they are gone. I still rock a cd in my car with like 800 80s tunes on it and I miss many of my buds from Graphic Arts.
