Marshal's Story
Hi! Well, it's been 35 years since graduation and I can't believe how I wasted the time! No, just kidding! I wish I did more but I feel I got enough in for one lifetime. Here's the last 35 years after graduation. Took a year off, wasted a year at Consumes. Joined the Army May of '82 and retired in May of '02, that was a great feeling! During that twenty years I had 4 boys (28,21,19,17) and two marriages. 1 year in Alabama, 1 in Korea, 5 in Colorado, 4 in Hawaii 6 in Texas and 3 in Germany.

Cindy (my wife of 25 years and who's 49) and I are both enjoying retirement. I couldn't make the reunion this year because we're buying a condo near Destin Florida where we hope to vacation a lot. Our home is near San Anonio and we also have a rental house there as well. We're not rich by no means but we are happy and healthy and that's all that matters! Hope you are doing well too! Send me a message, I'd love to hear from you!
