Mark Vaughan:  

After Graduation, I headed to Florida...It was great to see another part of the country...I got to see quite a few people at our 5 and 10 yr reunions...I'm hoping to see some more familiar faces if we have a 20th...I spent 17 fun-filled years in Florida...It was definitely a learning experience...Actually, it was where I discovered MYSELF...After a year and half of drinking, partying, and suicidal thoughts, I finally came to terms with my inner-self and came FLYING OUT OF THE CLOSET!!!....Yes, I know most of you knew before I did, but it was the hardest obstacle I had to hurdle...I spent many years, and still do, counseling the younger gay generations...It was like a huge burden had been lifted off of me...I got a lot of respect from people for being honest and I have done my best to break the stereo-types...I spent many years alone (by choice--I didnt' want to answer to anyone...lol!!!)...I finally settled down a little in 96 and was in a LTR for almost 5 years...Once again, i am single and let me tell ya...It's hard to date now that I've moved back to Morgan County, but dating is not what I'm here for...lol I've spent all of my working career serving the public in one way or another....I was a server for many years...Then I went to cosmetology school and was a stylist for a few years in a chain salon in Florida...I went into management, but gave up the job in 99 when my Grandmother was ill and I came back to stay with her for a few months...I returned to Florida in 2000 and started working for Red Lobster...I spent many years serving again and playing bartender....After I returned to Ohio in 2005, I went into management again...What a mistake...lol...I was in Zanesville for a few months, spent 15 months in Heath and was then transferred to Lancaster...The drives were killin' me...90 min 1 way then 10-12 hrs a day, took it's toll on me...It wasn't what I came back to Ohio to...Expand for more
