Donald's Story
After high school married Linda Newton from Salpoint H.S in 1973. I was widowed 3 months later. In 1975 I Married Diana Armstrong and we have been very happily married since then for the past 48 years. Some of you will remember Diana as a classmate of ours. We dated off and on throughout high school. I spent 9 yrs in the U.S. Air Force from 1976-1985. From Nov 1992 till July of 2009 I was employed by Bashas' Grocery in Prescott, AZ. when they closed the store. We have lived in Chino Valley since my discharge from the U.S.A.F.

n 39 yrs old on Nov 26, 2019 (she was born on Thanksgiving 1981). Richard is on the low functioning end of autism and Jennifer is on the high functioning end of autism. Richard has been in a group home since he was 11 yrs old in Phoenix. We visit him as often as we can. Jennifer lives at home and works for Y.E.I. at their R.A.I. division and loves it. Y.E.I. is a sheltered workshop for the developmentally disabled here in the Prescott area. We both still have relatives in the Tucson area and visit a couple times a year. We welcome any who would like to contact us on Classmates. Since Jun 2011 I have been working at Walmart #1417 in Prescott as a maintenance associate. After almost 2 years of unemployment it's great to be working again even if it is only part time. I have been a full time associate since Mar 2014. I finally retired Nov. 1, 2022.
