Neil's Story
The short story is that I married my sweetheart from Milby, Juaniece Chapman, 5 years ago and live in the beautiful Northwest, work as a computer programmer/cartographer for the City of Seattle, and am enjoying life.
The long story is that after graduation night, I was forbidden to see Juaniece by her Mom. The next day (remember the mid term graduations?) headed off to Lubbock to go to Texas Tech. For the next semester, all mail was intercepted and all phones were denied. I thought Juaniece had forsaken me, she thought I had forsaken her so we went our own ways.
Four year at Tech, married my junior year, moved to Dallas and lasted there for a year. Moved to Santa Fe where I found a great job and spent most of the next 13 years traveling across the Southwest. Moved to the NW and love it here. S...Expand for more
ince 1983, have spent about half my time either in the or Santa Fe working as a cartographer/programmer. Somewhere along the way, managed to end 2 marriages, have one great kid, and find the right partner for the remainder of my time here.
Oh, in 2001, I got a Classmates.com email from Juaniece asking how I was doing. Over the 36 years, I had tried to find out how she was doing, just hoping all was good for her, but secretly pining for her, you know, first love and all. The email set it all in motion and we were reunited in September 2001, an auspicious month if ever there was one. Actually arranged to go to the Milby Senior Prom in 2003 where I asked the question, and we were married in 2004.
Hey, life should be interesting. And by the way, I did get her Mom to admit she had made a mistake!
