Robert's Story
Life
After graduation, I went to Fresno State for three years as a chemistry major before moving to Bakersfield to help open a lab. That was a good move because I met my wife there. It was a mistake because I lost my deferment and received a notice for my draft physical. I was only in Bakersfield for six months before going into the Air Force to beat the draft. This took me to San Antonio, Tx, Montgomery, Al, and Victorville, Ca (George Air Force Base) before taking me to Viet Nam for a year as a pharmacy specialist.

the Air Force at Otis Air Force Base in Massacheusetts. But that would have put me there for six months during the winter and I was not looking forward to that. I was able to get out six months early and moved to Tucson instead where I went to Pharmacy School. After graduation I returned to Bakersfield where I worked for 15 years for and independant pharmacy before starting with a chain store 20 years ago. I am currently the pharmacy manager and a diabetes educator.
My wife and I have three kids and four granddaughters and one more grandchild on the way.
