Donald's Story
Hello everyone it's been a long time and we are all in our own lives. Here is whats been going on since High School.
I spent some time as a working on cars for Harakal in Farrell. Tried some college (Penn State Shenango Campus) Went to A.T.E.S. Technical School (Associates in Electronics Engineering Technology) and Adult Skill Center in Transfer to learn about industrial Maintenance. I drifted around trying to find work and realized that the only way to get ahead in the world was to get practical experience and a career elsewhere; an unfortunate commentary on the Shenango Valley. I eventually helped find a Metaphysical Research Group (Now Defunct) spent time at the Warren Light Center in Polk, PA.. I was introduced to Martial Arts by my Brother John and eventually found the American Institute of Martial Arts at the F.H. Buhl Club in Sharon a chance find that eventually would ...Expand for more
contribute significantly in my life..
After the winter of 1979 I realized that I needed to do something with my life. So I joined the Navy.
The Navy was a good life and I spent 24 years and served on 2 submarines a couple of Sub Tenders and number of Shore duties. I've lived in Connecticut 3 or 4 times, Washington State, California, Hawaii, Guam, Japan, and visited Hong Kong, Chinhei Korea, Townsville, Australia. On Sept 11, 2011 I was in Hawaii when the Towers fell in NYC.
I have been married three times in my life. Lynda, Kathy and finally Theresa...She says she's my last wife a real keeper. I have three step-daughters Michelle, Danielle and Melissa and three of my own Dawn, Megan, Michael and Rees.
Theresa, Rees and I now live in Gales Ferry Connecticut. I work at Electric Boat and teach Karate at our Community Center. I can be reached via facebook at GalesFerry.Karate.
