Frank's Story
Life
Hello, JFK Class of 1982!
Well, it's been quite an interesting ride since Graduation Day! Fast forward to 2005, 2 marriages, 2 children, and a whole lot of fun later... I find myself at age 40 and wondering just where the time has gone!
The single most important thing that's happened to me since JFK is having my two kids. Sarah Beth is a Senior at U of FL (and a JFK Class of 2004 graduate herself) and Frankie is just now starting preschool. My kids are my life, and they are both tremendous blessings to me...
Now, the marriage part of it, well that part is a bit trickier but I'm bound to get it right sooner or later, lol...
After Graduation, I didn't go to College right away. Needed to "find myself" sort of a thing. Fell into driving tractor trailer and did that for 15 years or so. Went to College at night and got my degree in Logistics Management. Never used it though - wound up starting my own Internet Business. Won't get into it here, but needless to say the Internet has been very, very good to me. If you want to laugh, Google "Frank Garon" and you'll see what I've been able to do.
I love what I do for a living - but my plan is to retire in the next 5-7 years and do volunteer work full time. I've been on a spiritual journey the past decade - trying to figure out what I was put here to do, and wh...Expand for more
at truly makes my heart happy.
All I know is I have never felt happier when I am doing good deeds - raising money for sick kids, hanging out in a nursing home and helping the elderly, or just helping people get their lives on track.
Those of you that remember me might recall that I had a bit of a big mouth and was always joking around. I still am a joker for sure, but I'm much more humble these days and serving others is where my heart truly lies. I really do hope to be able to devote myself to helping others full-time within the next handful of years.
Having said all that, I am very proud of where I came from. We had an awesome graduating class, and I can still say that 1982 was THE best year of my life. I AM from Iselin, and darn proud of it.
Speaking of Iselin, I moved to Perth Amboy in 1986, lived in the Spa Springs section there until 1995 and then moved up to the Poconos. When my Ex and I split, I moved down to the Lehigh Valley just west of Allentown, PA. I love, love, love it here and it really feels like home. Don't know if I'll ever move back to NJ - I don't miss the traffic at all!
Lots more to tell - would love to hear from anybody else from the Class of 1982!
Wishing everybody well,
Frank
PS; My two biggest crushes in High School were Gail K. and Connie C. Just for the record, lol...
