Shawn's Story

I was a transfer student to Comeaux in 84 or 85 from Kinder La. I lived out in Milton, where I had a few friends in town, we later moved out near St Martinsville near Lake Martin. I suck with names even to this day, and those brain cells are long dead, so I could not tell you who any of the people I hung out with were, kind of sad but true. For two of the years at Comeaux I was only on campus for half days, the first year it was to attend a vocational school for food services, basic cooking etc, which was off campus and lasted like 3 hours which I really enjoyed, and thought I would really like to become a chef some day. The second half day year I attended a class off campus in the morning about writing resumes and employment stuff in general, and as long as I had a job I got off in the afternoons to work. I met many friends from other schools at these classes, and most of the people I ended up hanging out with were from other schools, or from the jobs I was working. I was a busboy at Randal¿s Seafood. I also started as a busboy at Marcello's Italian restaurant (no longer there, but I think they still have the Marcello's wine Market on Johnston St, but that could be gone now too) and then moved into the kitchen as the salad and desert person, I then moved into...Expand for more
a cook position which I loved. I left Marcello¿s to go work at Pierre¿s as a cook for more money, that place had the best burgers and onionrings in town while it was open and the owner was a great guy and friend. I joined the Navy at 17 under the delayed entry program while still attending Comeaux. I left for the navy as soon as I graduated, I did not attend the ceremony, and my diploma was mailed to me. I was in the navy for 11 years, got out in San Diego California, and became a mail carrier for 1.5 years, hats off to anyone who can do that crap for very long, I ended up going back to school for network administration on the Navy¿s dime and soon got my current job as a Department of Defense Contractor for the Navy which ended up brining me to my current home in Virginia Beach Va. My current title is senior field engineer, but I also fill the roll of a senior systems analyst. God bless the words ¿experience in lieu of degree¿. Some of the places I got to see off the top of my head, Australia, Philippians, Fiji, Japan, Bali Indonesia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Mazatlan, San Felipe, Many parties, many brain cells gone, loved it. Sorry for the Wall of Text. Shawn (sprichard at chugachtw.com) cant leave contact info here so I am trying to be sneaky
