Bruce's Story
Life
I managed to be in 13 different schools before graduating from Sonoma High School. I blew one semister at the University of Maryland and then did some computer training at ECPI. I got a draft notice and quickly joined the Navy. I spent 9 years and two months in the Navy. I was at Great Lakes (Il.), Hawaii, Mare Island (Ca.), Philippines, Skaggs Island (Ca.), and Adak Alaska.
Since getting out in 1977 I have lived in the Phoenix Arizona area. While in Phoenix I have worked for Burroughs, Tandem, Motorola and now ON Semiconductor. It looked like I was going to need to find another job before the end of 2004, when they were scheduled to eliminate my position. But, things changed and by position looks secure until at least 2010. If I can make it until then, I can retire and hit the road.
So far, using classmates, I have connected with a few people from my past. I am looking forward to many more. A couple have failed to respond after my attempt to say hi. Nakes you wonder why they bothered putting their information in here if they weren't interested in saying hi to old friends. Hopefully I don't make the same mistake.
School
From K-12 I went to as many schools as there were grades. Two schools in Falls Church, Va. for grades 1-3. Finished grade 3 in Sangley point Philippine...Expand for more
s. Grade 4 in San Miguel Philippines. Grade 5 was in San Miguel, Kadena Air Base Okinawa and Brady Air Base Japan. Grade 6 in Brady. Grade 7 in San Diego and then Marley jr. High in Glen Burnie Md. Grade 8 at Andover High, grade 9 at Corkran jr High and grade 10 at Glen Burnie High, all while living in Glen Burnie. Grades 11 and 12 were at Sonoma High in Sonoma California.
College
I attended the University of Maryland for 4 months. I really blew it. I then went to work for about a year before attending ECPI. I graduated from there and was then off to the Navy (after receiving a draft notice).
Workplace
After spending 9 years in the Navy I got out and went to work for Burroughs. I was with them for two years before joining Tandem Computers. I was with Tandem for 15 years and then went to work for Motorola. I was with Motorola for 4 years and then my sector was spun off to create ON Semiconductor. I am still with ON and it looks like I may be able to keep this job until I reach a retirement age.
Military
Spent years in Asia as a dependant. Then, I spent years in Asia as a sailor. Sangley Point, San Miguel & Subic(Philippines), Okinawa & Hakata (Japan), Wahiawa (Hawaii), Skaggs Island (California), and Adak (Alaska). I was in the Navy from 1968-1977. Lots of good memories.
