Kosta's Story
Life
Hello everyone !
This is Kosta (Gus the Greek) . I went to Gotham from 1971 to 1978 (disregard the 1974 to 1978 shown on the members list).
I unreservedly think that those were the happiest years of my life, and I still have the fondest memories.
After Gotham I went to Elmont Memorial for one year and then, due to a business setback, my disillusioned parents moved the family back to Greece.
I had a hell of a time trying to fit in, sometimes it feels as if I never quite managed it. Most of my friends and relatives, as well as my wife, call me "the American". That's pretty ironic considering that in the U.S. I was known as "the Greek".
Anyway, I finished highschool and studied Mining Engineering and Metallurgy for two years at the Athens Polytechnical Institute. Bored out of my mind, I dropped out and due to my excellent highschool grades, got accepted into the Hellenic Naval Academy. I recieved my commission in 1990. I'...Expand for more
ve travelled all over the world, yeah, it's not just a job, it's a f..... adventure!
Currently, I'm a Lieutenant commander stationed in Athens on the Defense Minister's staff, dealing with arms procurements.
I've been married for the past 10 years and have a daughter, who is 8 and a son, who is 6.
I've been in Europe for the past 27 years and I still speak English like I left the States yesterday. I must say I'm very proud of that!
In my free time I watch movies(only if they're made in the U.S.), read books (only if they're written in the English language), tutor my kids in English, and reminisce about my life in Elmont. We also like to make weekend excursions out of the big city for picknicks or sightseeing.
I could go on forever about myself but I don't want the poor soul that stumbles upon this to actually read all of it and become a manic-depressive with suicidal tendencies out of sheer boredom.
Take care and God bless.
