John's Story
Life
After graduation I volunteered for the draft and spent over 3 years in the Army Airborne, being honorably (to some peoples surprise) discharged in 1962. I then attended Ball State and played freshman basketball, but after my first year my buddy, Mike Sacchini, talked me into spending the summer in LA. Well, after seeing the Southern California sights, I got stuck there for 43 years. I was married for 23 years, amenably divorced in 1996, and have a son that is now 36. His name is Joshua, no grandchildren, and he still lives in California, but after returning to Indiana in 2006, I have recently relocated to the much warmer and sunnier, Peoria, Arizona. I arrived on October 10, 2011 and close on my new home October 14.

re Dame campus, almost on the Michigan state line. I arrived at my new Indiana home on March 1, 2006. Many of my previous friends from high school (South Bend), still resided there, and I have a couple nieces in the area.

This is an update to my profile form 2006 and I am now in Peoria, AZ as I have state above, so will have many more things to share in the near future regarding the new location, home and new friends things to do. I already love the weather here and will even feel that way next summer when it consistently heats up to 115 degrees or so. The sunshine and wonderful and I can ride my Harley year round viewing some awesome scenery. Sedona, AZ is less that 2 hours away and LA, about 6.5 hours. I LOVE RETIREMENT!
