Philip's Story
Life
When I left East High school I tried a Tech school for about 1 semester but Viet Nam was happening so I joined the Air Force. I spent a year in Texas, was lucky enough to get transfered to Lowry he in Denver for a year and then went to Panama for 1 1/2 years. After getting out I lived with my Brother Barry, who had also served. He was a warrent officer & flew helicopters in Viet Nam.
Unforntunately, he was KIlled by a drunk driver March of 1975.
I got a job working with, then Mtn. Bell installing phones. I also got Married to Kathy Herlocker in 1976. I worked my way up to PBX Tech with the company & had 2 children. A girl, Sabrina, & a boy Derek. After moving way out in East Aurora, we moved back in closer to town and lived off of Havana & Iliff for 15 years. One day after about 8 years with Ma Bell, I was putting in a new PBX system for the Yellow ...Expand for more
Pages and decided to interview to become a sales rep.
I passed the test and for the next 23 years I sold yellow pages for them. That would be U.S. West, then Qwest, then Qwest Dex.
In 1993, my father who was 86 died right before Chrismas, and then in Feb. of 1994 my mother passed on also. A year later I got divorced from Kathy who had 2 affairs on me and ended up marrying one of the guys. I will have to say I made it through all this because I had a strong faith in God and Jesus.
After 6 years I met a wonderful lady named Linda & we were married June of 2002. Sabrina went on to college and has now completed her Masters. She is the City of Golden's Communications Manager/PID, & Derek is managing a mobile phone store for who else by Qwest. I have done well with some investments and am retired and really enjoying life.
Life is good. Bye for now. Phil
