John's Story
11/29/2008
As we fast approach 39 years since leaving REL it's hard to believe so much time has passed. I don't know about all of you but at times I really miss those days (when I wished I was an adult and "could do anything I wanted to"). Suprising how you learn you should not wish for some things:)
As the years go by I find myself thinking of all my friends, classmates and teachers wondering how everyone is and where they are today. I wish I could tell each of my teachers thank you for working so hard to give us knowledge. I know from your posts that some of you have retired?? I can't even think of that word with all the things going on and next year I will have all 3 kids in college at the same time. My 22 year old is still looking for his career direction, my 18 year old got his Eagle in Scouts and is now in college looking at his numerous interests to set a future goal. My 17 year old daughter is planning on following an environmental career in college next year. My daughter will also get her driver license the first week of December - WOW is insurance a killer for teenage drivers!
I am still heavily involved in our Boy Scout troop having put in 8 years as an adult leader (the last 5 and still as Scoutma...Expand for more
ster). I have had my auto repair shop now for 30 years this past September. With all my duties I still have not had time to put the airplane back in the sky and have not been skydiving as much either. Each year I say next year to getting the plane together and back in the sky. I do the same with my Barracuda...if only we had a few more hours in a day, days in a week and weeks in a month.
My parents are living in North Carolina near my brother and doing very well. My mom turned 88 last week. It's amazing how (some of) the values that I bucked as a teenager I live by as an adult today. I owe my parents everything for their patience, love and guidance as I know it was tough with me! One sister is still in Denver and the other here in the Houston area.
In closing my mom sent me an email about the 7 Wonders of the World where a group of students were asked to list their picks. Out of the usual worldwide locations one students list was very different:
To see, To hear, To touch, To feel, To laugh, To love and the greatest wonder is God's Love for mankind to give him these things.
I thank God for my kids, family, friends and life.
I want to wish everyone a safe and Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year 2009.
