John's Story
After a less than stellar academic career at OPRFHS I tried and bombed the 1st semester of college which led to a stint in the military. That convinced my to get an education so I did and became a great student graduating from ISU in 73. A bit of time working retail management convinced me to to go back to school getting a masters degree in Counseling figuring I could do better than what I experienced. Worked in mental health for a few years before feeling burned out and went back to school so I could work at the university level. Got my doctoral degree in Psych from Western Michigan, interned at Tulane, went to Minnesota and ended up there as the director of counseling at UM - Morris. Left that...Expand for more
for the wild west getting a similar job at New Mexico State. Spent 18 years there, got sick of administration and politics and retired.
During all that I was married for 25 years, lost my wife to illness, also adopted a 7 year old and now she has moved on. I have remarried to a wonderful woman and we are about to move from New Mexico to the Georgia mountains. I still love motorcycles, think I have 10, and have been a runner for nearly 40 years.
Update: I got out of the South, not a pleasant social environment and have moved ot 40 acres in W. Colorado with deer in the yard, bobcats, elk, bear and lion around. Can ski nearby and great places to ride. Trying to live each day as full as possible.
