Robert's Story
Military
United States Marine Corps, 8/73 - 8/76, attained the rank of Sergeant, Two MOS's one in Field Wire and the other in Communication Center (Teletype), Two trips to Vieques, PR, Many trips to the field either Camp LeJeune or Ft. Bragg, Marine-of-the-Month for Battery, Regiment, and Division, three meritorious promotions. Perhaps as much as anything I remember the day I got out almost as if it was yesterday and the sheer joy and elation of that entire day. It was a day that would have been darned near impossible to ruin for me as I had waited for it for so long. Ahhh, if memories were wine I'd certainly treat you to a glass of mine, that's for certain.

nics. Migrated up to Deerwood, Minnesota and went to Brainerd Community College (now known as Central Lakes College) where I took pre-business classes along with my electives and wound up going to St. Cloud State University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management. That was in 1983. The funny thing is I went in the Marine Corps to get away from college thinking I wouldn't like it and when I eventually went I really liked it and even graduated with Honors from Brainerd Community College! Ha! What a surprise that was!
Married - divorced, three sons, six grandchidren (five grandsons, one grand daughter).
Like working with my hands.
Curious about just about everything!
Love being a Catholic! Another shocker! Wish I would have come to the faith sooner but just glad I found it now!
