James A.'s Story

Life After High School, I enlisted into the US Army on 29 Aug 71. I went to basic in California, (Ft Ord). After basic, I went to Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center, Denver Colorado for optical laboratory specialist school. I was stationed in Germany for 3 and a half years. In Sep of 1976, I returned to Fitzsimmons until the end of my enlistment. I became a certified optician and received my AA degree in Optic's. In 1984, I received my BS degree in Health Care Management, I also received a commission in the Army and went to Ft Sill, Oklahoma for Artillery training. I got out of the Army in July of 1988 I started working as an optician in Las Cruces. I wasn't happy there so I set my sites on Alamogordo and the rest is History.

unity for the past 18 years. I am a past president of the Alamogordo Noon Lions, the Noon Sertoma, & the Downtown Merchants Association. I was the Chairman for the Committee for the recognition of the Hispanic Pioneers of the Tularosa Basin. I was also the Chairman for the First "Relay for Life" here in Alamogordo. I also served as an Alternate Municiple Judge for 5 years. From March 1997 until March 2002. Last but not least, I plan to be a winner of the world of series poker. I hope I live long enough to see it happen. The reason why, I'm on dialysis and I'm waiting for a Kidney. I feel I've done for my commuity, now I'm going to do for me. I hope I didn't come off as a show off, I just love my hometown! Thank you for this visit, .......oh, I hope you forgive me for my grammar, I didn't learn english comp to well. Your classmate, James A. Miyagishima
