Raymond's Story
Life
Our Class graduated June 2, 1978, on June 9, 1978 I entered service with the U.S. Army. I was sent to Fort McClellan, Alabama for Basic training and the Military Police School. I served nine years in the service of our country from Hawaii to Germany and back to Hawaii where I received my discharge. I attained the rank of sergeant/E-5 during this time. It was also turbulent with the death of my son during birth in September of 1982 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Also with the birth of my daughter, in Hilo, Hawaii with Spina Bifida in 1986.

Kitchen , she is the number one of the best and was able to visit with her family again while picking up my daughter for the trip. So those of you who check this out, don't be shy, leave a message or send an email, REC238 at AOL, I will write back. If you come to the Big Island look me up, just call the non-emergency line 935-3311 and leave a name and contact number.
