James's Story
Life
Well Let's see, left Keokuk in Summer of '75. by early '76 was back and moved to Mt Pleasant to work in R&D at a fireplace factory. Joined US Cavalry in Fall of '76 and spent 3-1/2 years in Germany. trained with Rangers (Mountain division) and Special Forces, came back and Started College at WIU in Macomb, Moved to Peoria in 84, and transferred to ICC in '85. Graduated and moved to Dekalb in '86 and finished up at NIU dept. of Technology. Spent next seven years working as a Manufacturing engineer (married in '89) and had a Daughter (Sarah) in 1992. I now Live along the eastern shore of the Illinois river, and am a member of a local classic rock band, and have worked in Manufacturing Engineering for over 20 years.
Update: Just quit Rock band last January after a decade ...Expand for more
playing in and around Peoria. My Daughter graduates from Metamora High school in three weeks and we're going to LA for a week for her graduation trip (Staying at her uncles condo at Dana Point). Then she starts School at ICC (she was one of the 6 area HS students accepted into their Physical Therapy Assistant program) and she'll be a PTA before her 20th birthday. then she has 2 more years of undergrad and then on to either Bradley or Northern to complete her PT program (they've got it up to a Doctorate now), so you'll all be able to check out my NEW act, selling my A$$ in a pink Tutu out on War Memorial drive to raise graduate school tuition (Lookin' at $90K AFTER the undergrad Program. JEEZ!) So please, Give generously to the United dumbf#ck dad's college fund. More later...
