John's Story

I graduated from Banning High School, S'61. Honorable Discharge from USAF on 07/03/65. Served a tour at Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Republic of South Vietnam. My daughter Synthia is 47 y/o & has blessed me with 2 grandchildren. I bummed around several years in good old Wilmas. I presently live in Midland, Texas and have been here for nearly 20 years. I married a Correctional Officer from Ontario, California, Cynthia Delgado and have been married for 33 years, married on Valentine's Day. I worked at the California Youth Authority, Chino for several years. Presently I am a Felony Probation Officer in Midland, Texas with no plan for retirement as far as I can see. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology and strangely I am still attending college as a Master's Candidate at the University of Texas, Permian Basin and due to acquire my degree in Administration of Criminal Justice. Between me and my wife, we have 7 children and 22 grandchildren. I remain in close contact with Arthur (Red) Gutierrez, Danny Ponce, Mike Guerrero, all retired longshoreman. Oddly enough I met another "Wilmero" in Midland here, Manual Madrigal. He has been here for several years after his wife was killed by a drunk driver there in Wilmington.

the West Texas Desert. Far cry from the beaches of Southern California. You have heard some of my good stuff but like many of us,it has not been all so nice in my life. I struggled with substance abuse for several years but have been clean & sober for nearly 20 years also. I happen to be a Texas Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and serve as a specialized probation officer. Practical life experiences combined with education completed the package. I rationalize my life by telling myself, it is not how you started but how you finish. Now some of you now know that John E. Infante is still alive and kicking by only God's love & grace as well as by the prayers of those who love me. Hope many to hear from some of you. tks Latest update as of 12/15/10: I am undergoing radiation & chemo for endocarconoma & hepato-cellularcarconoma; 2 separate cancers.
