Dennis's Story
School
After graduation from SHS I attended Purdue and studied Forestry and went through the ROTC program there. After Purdue I spent almost 5 years on active duty with the Army before leaving and joining the Indiana National Guard. I retired from the Guard in Dec. 1996 with almost 26 yrs. of service.
I also went to work for the Marion County Sheriff Dept. in 1976 and hope to be retiring from there in Mar. 2001 with 24+ yrs. of service. I still live in Speedway and my wife Barbara, whom I met at Purdue, owns her own business there. It is called Barbie's Stitch & Stamp Nook and is located in the Meadowood Shopping Center.
I have a son Jeff, SHS Class of '90, and a daughter Tanya, SHS Class of '92. They are a true joy in my life.
I enjoy hunting, computers, competitive pistol shooting, genealogy, working on my class reunion, and community service. ...Expand for more
I am active on the Board of Directors of the Deputy Sheriff's Fraternal Organization and Speedway Dollars for Scholars. Look forward to hearing from any and all SHS Grads or other friends I have known over the years.

I miss it already, but it was time to move on down that yellow brick road. There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's...
