Life I left Chicago in June of 1981... and haven't returned other then for brief visits. I've been married for over 18 years and have three great children. We live about 70 miles north of San Diego in the city of Temecula. I retired from the Navy on February, 2007 with my ceremony on December 1st, 2006 onboard USS Midway in San Diego and I am looking forward to my second career! School What can a person say about Hubbard High School? At times it was a blast... only at times though... 75 percent of the time I could have thought of MANY better places to spend my time! There are only a handful of folks I keep in touch with... you know who you are and names need not be mentioned. To you, I appreciate and value your friendship.

I did not attend the commencement ceremony for the graduating class of 1981, as I had left for basic training a few days before. The school was quite gracious in handing me my diploma a week before so I could meet my responsibilities to the United States Navy. (Little did I know it would be almost 27 years before I was no longer IN the Navy!!) I've swept floors, cleaned commodes, scrubbed decks, stood watches, did body work on aircraft for a while, maintained electrical systems including navigation, power generation systems, Automatic Flight Control Systems, engine systems and hydraulic systems as well as equipment cooling systems. I also was an Instructor teaching the aforementioned aircraft systems for a few years. I was assigned to to Headquarters, Navy Department in Washington DC as the senior Rating Assignment detailer responsible for the global assignments of Aircraft Electricians throughout the Navy. I was also the senior evaluator for all Navy and Marine Corps aviation organizational level activities east of the Mississippi river all the way to Baghdad. I finished my career as the Maintenance Master Chief for HSL-43 at NAS North Island... Ya' mean there is MORE to life than this!!???!!???
