If anyone remembers me (I think I was pretty invisible during high school). Here's the scoop:
Worked at our small dairy before and after school, so didn't get to play much.
After WHS, spent four years in the Navy and was on the first U.S. warship to "visit" Saigon in many years. Two tours in the Far East .
Joined the Phoenix Fire Department 1966, retired as Captain in 1986. Along the way picked up a degree in Public Management from Saint Mary's College, Moraga, Cal.
Married Patricia Herriage WHS 1963, had two sons, divorced in 1977..

ears.
Oh yeah...career, Deputy Arizona State Fire Marshal, then Fire Marshal City of Peoria Az., then Fire chief of Doney Park Fire Dept. Flagstaff, Az,, then Fire Chief for the Yavapai Indian Nation for 11 years. (40 square miles next to Fountain Hills. You know, where the casino is). Finally retired in 2010. Still have the house in Flagstaff, so spend lots of time up there. Yes we also have a house in Phoenix. No you can't spend the summer with us in Flag.
Boys are grown and successful, (never on drugs or in jail that I know of). Oh...one terrific adopted daughter who lives in Flag. The boys all live in Phoenix. I'm in great health and planning another cross-country trip later this year. This makes number six. Maybe I'll attend one of the class of 61 get-togethers and we can test our memories!
