Life
Graduated in 67', loved my 4 years as a Colt, and even today I savor the memories from those 4 years. And boy, did my life turn out differnet than I had imagined. I had wanted to work in Radio (ahhh high school dreams of glory). First thing out of high school I got a job... Remember that double drive in "Covina Drive'in" on Grand and Arrow Hwy? We I landed a job there, walking the field with my white shirt and bow tie poking my head in windows and saying "Heads above the seats, please". It as also the summer I found out more about sex than even I wanted to know...LOL....
Well at the end of that Summer of 67' I was about burnt out on a week of the same movie, stale popcorn, bandaids on the hotdogs and walking the field with that flashlight. I needed a change. So on the advise of my Mom, I went and applied with Pacific Telephone. I took the tests and they said "don't call us, we'll call you" . Three days later I was offered a job delivering Company Mail.. Not quite the DJ job I was looking for but for $86.50 a week (god that was alot of money then in my view), I took it.. In Jan of 1969, I got the big personal appearance request from Uncle Sam. Yes, Tim, your country needs you. So off to the Army I went. 2 years (and a lifetime later) I was discharged from the Army. A year in Viet-nam as a Sniper Team Leader in the 101st Airborne. A lifetimes of experience that changed my whole view on life was over. On ward and upward. I went back to Pacific Telephone as a Lineman. Climbing poles, pulling cable etc.
After about a year, I took a leave of absence and signed up at Mt Sac. Here I was 22, a lifetime of experience behind me and...Expand for more
going to a Jr. College with wet behind the ears, clueless 18 year olds. I then realized College was not for me.
So back to Work with Pacific Telephone. I got married in 1973 which lasted 18 years. 2 great boys, company Mergers, acquisitions and takeovers I now have 43 years with pacific telephone, pacbell, sbc and now att. I am a senior analyst and fly a computer keeping att computers up and running, and I get to do it from home.
I have always been somewhat of a history freak and so when I was invited to join a living history reenacting group I jumped at the chance. I have a homepage send me a note and I'll let you know what it is. If you would like to see me dressed up in my various impressions. I guess the living history stuff has in a way completed my craving to work in radio (that ol dream) since its really a lot like street theater.
I'm looking forward to retiring in 2 more years and moving out of state some place midwestish... Missouri, Tennesee,Arkansas...
Update: Well I retired 12/31/2011 and started on completing my bucket list. First on Agenda was a motorcycle tour of the us. I rode from Rancho Cucamonga to Florida to Maine then Washington and home. 13500 miles in 10 weeks seeing all the places I'd only heard of. In 2013 I joined 1000s of VietNam Veterans in a motorcycle trip from Rancho Cucamonga to D.C called Run For The Wall.
Now I have 2 grandkids to play with and that takes up my spare time. All in all Life has been good to me.

What can I say about Covina High? It was a time of growth, fun, outrageous antics and SPIRIT. Always mostly got along t everyone and didn't have to many enemies.
