John's Story

Life I thought I should make a few adjustments here since it has been 8 years since my last update. Lol. Time flies when your having fun. After High School, I worked for 1 year and attended CSU for 2 years before joining the US Navy. I spent the next 2 1/2 years in the South Pacific with 2 extended vacation trips to Vietnam. My last Navy assignment was in Washington, DC, where I met my wife Carol and we settled down. We have now been married for 49 years. We have raised two children, Jennifer and John. We are currently enjoying our three grandchildren, Zackery (16), Jacob (13), and Benjamin (9). We have called Bowie, MD home for the last 36 years. Bowie is about 25 miles East of Washington, DC on Rt 50. After leaving the Navy in 1970, I began working as a civilian for the Department of the Army. My assignments were in various DOD organizations in the Washington, DC area, but most of the time was spent in the Pentagon. During this time I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland and my graduate work at the National Defense University in Washington DC. I ended my career as the Executive Officer for the Information Technology Agency, Secretary of the Army. I may have retired from a career but I have not retired from life. I remain active with the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts. I now have two grandsons in a Boy Scout troop and the other in Cub Scouts. Guess who is there to support them. I have been a Scoutmaster of a local troop for the la...Expand for more
st 31 years. During this time we have produced 42 Eagle Scouts. I still attend the monthly camping trips and summer camp but no longer do the high adventure trips. The doctor says 600 miles a foot and a floor is way to much for these old knees and back. I also do substitute teaching and volunteer work at their elementary school. We usually try to beat the Washington DC heat and humidity during the summer by spending several months in Maine each summer and we sneek away in February for several weeks to some place warm like Florida or Arizona. Life revolves around our kids and grandsons. The oldest grandson, Zachary, is active of the high school varsity swimming and lacrosse teams. He was just nominated for the all Metro lacrosse team. GO Bulldogs!! Jacob is our track star. He has just qualified for the Junior Olympics in the 1500 and 3000 meters. Sacramento, CA here we come in July!! Benjamin is just getting started in swimming and baseball. Stay tuned for his future accomplishments. I have been fortunate to have many memorable moments in my life. But, the major high points of my life are: my marriage to Carol; my acceptance of the Lord in 1970: the birth of my 2 children, Jennifer & John; the birth of our three grandchild, Zackery, Jacob and Benjamin; and my 31 years as Scoutmaster of a Boy Scout Troop.
