Thomas's Story
School
MY BIGGEST CRUSH WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS FOR NOW,AT LEAST.
MR.KEN RUTLEY INSPIRED ME MOST,LIKE MY DRILL SEARGANT IN BASIC TRAINING WHILE IN THE ARMY!
I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN,ONLY THIS TIME I WOULDN'T GET CAUGHT AS MUCH.
MY HAPPIEST MOMENT WAS WHEN I GRADUATED,UNTIL MAY 1968 WHEN I WAS DRAFTED!!
College
MY COLLEGE WAS 5 YEARS OF APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING AT NEWSDAY TO BECOME A JOURNEYMAN PRESSMAN.
AFTER WORKING THERE FOR 35 YEARS OF HARD LABOR,I RETIRED EARLY AT AGE 53 AND I'M LOVING IT.
Workplace
I STARTED AT NEWSDAY WHEN I WAS 18,THEY ROBBED THE CRADDLE!
IT WAS BOTH GOOD AND ...Expand for more
BAD AS IN MOST CAREERS,BUT I HAVE NO REGRETS.
I RECEIVED 2 PUBLISHERS AWARDS AND THEY EVEN PUT MY PICTURE IN THE PAPER,NOT ONE OF MY BEST PHOTOS,BUT I DID GET ALOT OF CALLS FROM INTERESTED FEMALES.I CAN'T ELABORATE ON THAT ONE!
Military
AFTER BASIC TRAINING IN HOT SOUTH CAROLINA,I WENT TO THE SWAMPS OF LOUISIANA TO FORT POLK.
THEN MY GUARDIAN ANGEL TOOK CHARGE AND I WENT TO OKINAWA FOR 18 MONTHS.GOT OUT OF THE ARMY IN MAY 1970 AND BACK TO WORK AT NEWSDAY.
IT WAS A LIFE EXPERIENCE THAT I WAS MADE TO VOLUNTEER FOR BY MY UNCLE SAM THAT LET ME SEE THE WORLD AND APPRECIATE LIVING IN AMERICA.
