Gene's Story
Life
When I left High school I entered Purdue University. In December of 1969 I joined Seymour's National Guard unit. I became a platoon sergeant in the National Guard and served until 1976.

During this time, I got married to Marcia Fisher in 1972, a SHS literature teacher. I worked my way through my college school years at the Seymour Water Company and Harley Bag. I attended Indiana University-Bloomington and got an MBA in 1980 while I was the Maintenance Engineer at Harley Bag. In 1980 we moved to Houston, Texas. I was a plant superintendant in a bag plant for Bemis Company. We moved on to St. Louis MO in 1982, Peoria IL in 1985, Omaha NE in 1987, Vancouver WA(Portland OR area) in 1989, Omaha in 1992.

Military
Fort Ord would have been OK had it not been for the rain and basic training. Sgt. Pettaway in AIT was a real trip too; He took about twenty pounds off me from all the running. Being in the Guard with high school friends was helpful and stressful at the same time. There was some fun on bivouacs until my jeep was stolen. I had some really bad hangovers too, because my friends kept me out too late.
