John's Story
My life has been so interesting. I made so many good friends. Many of whom I've regretted losing contact with.
Typical grade school (Bethany Lutheran), middle school (Schaaf Junior High) and high school (1-year Valley Forge, 2-years Parma High) experiences.
I have found and kept in contact with numerous high school "buddies", but so many others have eluded me.
I would love to hear from you all.
Beyond graduation in 1970 and a year of college at Columbus Technical Institute, I've included a sequential time list of where I was stationed. This list does not include where I was sent TDY/TDA...such as Takli Thailand, Aug 1973 for 45-days, and numerous other exotic locations (Vietnam, 1973)
I have visited and/or lived in most every Asiatic country during my military career.
