Robert's Story

Greetings All: After high school I attended The Ohio State University and obtained my degree in journalism. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I never liked the idea of working for a newspaper, long and late hours, so that never materialized. But at the same time I did receive an ROTC commission as a 2nd LT in the US Army. I was one of the lucky ones. I spent the Vietnam war years in the Washington DC area, at Ft. Meade, MD. After the Army, I moved to Miami; got married, raised 2 kids, got divorced, got remarried, and then relocated to Tampa, Houston, Atlanta, and back again to Houston, and then finally back to Atlanta where I am now. For my entire career I have been in industrial sales, and for the last 30 years it has been industrial filtration sales; everything you wanted to know about a filter and were afraid to ask -- just contact me. The last 10 years ago I have able to do some traveling. I have been to Englad, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Monaco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Colombia, Mexico, Honduros and much of the Caribbean. If you haven't had the chance to see Europe, you are missing quite a thrill....Expand for more
Since I have moved so many times since high school I have not had any opportunities to catch up with others in our graduation class. I recall the number 707 as being the number that was in our graduation class. Now I understand that approximately 85 know graduates have passed away. This is the time for nostalgia to kick in. Seventeen years ago I did go to our 40th reunion. That was my first contact with basically anyone from high school. I lost touch with everyone. As I recall there were about 180 people there that night. Funny, but I had no idea who most of them were, as I am sure they didn't know me. It was kind of disappointing in some regards. People that I remembered, that I held them in a special place in my memory and heart, didn't seem to feel or act the same way. However, I did attend other reunions and found some old friends. Maybe everyone will be as nostalic as I. Up till this point, age 75, life has been good to me. I still have all my hair, in spite of it being all white. I remember myself as a skinny kid in Jr High, weighing 145 lbs, graduating from EHS at 175 lbs, and then from OSU at 200 lbs. Oh, do I miss those low numbers.
