Mark's Story
After high school, I enrolled at Ball State. I found that I didn't have enough time to hang out with the guys, be with my girlfriend, work, and sleep, so I dropped out of school.
These activities continued for some time, until Uncle Sam came calling. I eventually went into the army under a special "non-combatant" status, but I ended up in Canada after awhile. Later, I returned to the U.S. under a program that allowed me to fulfill my remaining time in "alternate service". I did this by working at a home for troubled boys, around Terre Haute.

have been with my present wife for eighteen years. I have three children and a granddaughter.
I have a Masters degree in Sociology. I have had three main careers: a research project director, a financial advisor, and a realtor, which is my current career.
I have a lot of good friends in Winnipeg, but there is nothing like old friends. I usually get back to Fairmount each year. (My brother, Kem, lives around Matthews.) I always make time to see Spencer Bunch, Gary Hamilton, Anita Piper, and Alicia Lighty. Most of the time I see Lana Haynes, also. I have been to every class reunion since the fifteenth.
I often think of my time in Fairmount. I guess we all get nostalgic for our youth. If you would like to communicate with me, I would be happy to hear from you.
