John's Story
I attended Ingalls Elementary for K, 1st and 2nd grades. In K or 1st grade I was Hansel in "Hansel and Gretel". When we started 3rd grade I think they closed Ingalls school and we went to Lenwood Elelmentary. I had Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Kirk , Mrs. Zeimer and Mrs. Heldreth. After that we moved to Hinkley and went to school there. Dr. Sarkady was the principal and I had Mrs. Wilborn and Mr. Bisio for homerooms and Mr. & Mrs. White, Mr. Ellis Miss Maria(D'Auria) And I remember when the Mahoney's station wagon got hit by a train. My dad was friends with a guy that was caretaker at the Lockhart ranch and they lived in the mansion out there and we spent practically that whole summer out there running amok through that huge house and swimming. 1983 we moved to Boron for Jr. High and High School.

rned a lot and the great memories obscure the bad ones. After high school I continued to work at the Roadhouse in Kramer Jct. where I had been since 1985.. 1989 I came out of the closet and shortly moved to Arkansas with a guy I met at the Roadhouse. In Arkansas I worked at Mountain. Harbor Resort, I worked for a short time at a radio station KWXIfm and I became a CNA. 1999 I went back to California and reunited with my family. I worked as a CNA at first in Ridgecrest. Then I went back to Boron and worked as a bartender at the American Legion and in Irvings Ice Cream and Liquor (now Crains). I have been back in Ridgecrest since 2005. I worked at John's Pizza Pasta and Homemade Ice Cream when Nick still owned it. Now I am working as maintenance and housekeeping at the Desert Motel.. Those are the bare bones of my life. A LOT went on besides this timeline, but I'm tired of typing.
