John's Story
Joined the Army two weeks after graduation. Never talked about it but had a LOW draft number in '72 and the war was a long way from being over (lasted until 1975!). Was in for 9 1/2 years, stationed at Ft Knox Ky, Ft Campbell Ky, US Army Honor Guard in Seoul, South Korea. Back to Ft. Lewis Wash, then cross country to Ft. Gordon Ga. Then back across country to Ft Ord CA. From there went to West Berlin, Germany for 3 years. Loved Europe. But had enough moving every other year, so I left the service in 1981 and came back to Cincinnati.
Worked for Cincinnati Electronics then at GE Computer Services. First wife and I divorced in 1991 so I moved to Phoenix AZ. Went to school there until my father passed where upon I moved back to Cincinnati again.
Was a bartender for a couple years, that was interesting. But then...Expand for more
remarried and went back to electronics by getting a job with Cincinnati Milacron as an electronic engineering technician. They had a great engineering staff that was easy to work with. Our division was sold several times and finally bought by Siemens. Was there till I became disabled and was unable to work despite the surgery.
Second wife decided she didn't want to be married to someone handicapped and not for the first time was caught seeing someone else. So I divorced her sorry ass after 14 years of marriage.
Now I babysit my grand daughters, read a LOT, watch a little TV and am trying to teach myself how to play the piano. Which is as hard as I thought it would be but still fun. Recently came across the sheet music for "Bella's Lullaby" from Twilight and am trying to learn it. OMG! Some of the cords!
