John's Story

Now really, can't we all write a book about our lives at this point in time. What is time anyway? I'll do the best I can as usual and try not bore the hell out of you. :) Well you know I made it through NFA with all of you. Did some college at OCCC but quit (big mistake) Decided to work and play at 18 when I was hired by IBM in 1977. Did well there actually for 21 years with no college. The timeing was right at the time. Life was good until corporate america decided to treat us like numbers instead of intelligent evolving human beings. Got Married in 1985 to a young girl 6 years my senior. Had a beautiful boy named Andrew John (you can see him in my photo album. Andrew graduated from Burke Catholic HS in 2009 and will attend OCCC and has joined the Airforce reserves. He is going down the politcal science road and has a vision of working for the FBI in drug enforcement. Funny he wants to bust em when I was using em... Oh sorry had to reflect a little on those days. Just a little humor. I had the honor to watch my boy play Ice Hockey since he was 5. We traveled all over the east coast and watched him play travel youth hockey. High School was great. Burke Cathloic finished 3rd in the Section 9 States class B tournament. Played Center for the 2nd line. Good player pound for pound. He had no fear. Not scholarship material, just a sound player. He played football too and Lacross. I guess he played out my dream. I was never tough or big enough to deal with the Melfe's and Golden's and Levy's of NFA. Just to name a few. Great kid and he carries my name on. Do I really want my name carried on? Hell yes. Back to me. Sorry to say, I divorved 9 years later. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Painfull and expensive. That experience has left me single today and most likely single tomorrow. Not to say I have no...Expand for more
t had a few long term relationships in the past 14 years. Am I not willing to commit again? Not true, just have not met the right person with the right chemistry. What does that mean? I'll tell you later. Anyway, in 1999 IBM sold it's network division to AT&T. I worked for AT&T for 4 years(2003) as a network engineer configuring Cisco routers for AT&T and it's customers. It was a great job that I loved to do and made good money doing it. Back to the wonderful world we live in (and it is a wonderful world it's a privledge to walk this planet we live on) my department was corporate downsized in 2003. Yes laid off. Great salary gone in a blink of an eye. Another statistic with all the other thousands. It's still going on today isn't it. At the age of 45 at the time, it was a challenge and difficult task getting back into the IT world. Since then I went to school for Massage therapy in 2003 and have a NYS massage licence. Always had an interest in it so I did it. Always had an interest in Real Estate too and I did that with a NYS Brokers license in 2004. Real Estate is a great investment as if you didn't know that but the business sucks. Made a few bucks but it was not me. "Buyers are lier's and sellers are worse". So know I just moved to the Finger Lake region in Central New york and lead a more humbled simplier life with less stress. I enjoy 82 acres that is very peaceful and private with a pool and spa in my yard. I take care of the land when I am not working and enjoy the beauty of nature, peace and tranquillity. I will be looking to see you all at the next reunion. Are we on for a 2010 reunion or do we have to wait for 40 years. That is scary. Let do 35. Peace to all and stay well. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Buddha
