Life
I left Vashon in the beginning of my Junior year 1959 as I had enlisted in the Army. I finished HS in Darmstadt Germany during my 2 and a half years in Germany. Most of the time I was in the 547th Combat Engineer Battalion. Later I attended the Electronics School at Fort Monmouth, NJ and served in Hawaii for a couple years.
After the Army (1966) I stayed in Hawaii, worked there and Okinawa and then Palau, Western Caroline Islands doing military related communications work.
I married in Palau and in 1967 I came back to the Northwest. Worked at Boeing until the big layoff in 1970.
Dec 1970 through Dec 1973 I worked in Western Alaska on another military related communications job.

t out of the DoD remote area jobs and then worked at Fluke in Everett for 9 years.
Raised 6 kids & divorced in 1992. Married again in 1967.
I retired in 2009 from Honeywell Aerospace in Renton after 23+ years.
During an economic crisis in 1993 I took time off to spent 3 months in the Russian Far East with friends from there that I met in Seattle in 1991. In 1996 I went to Tashkent, Uzbekistan to marry my friend Dilyara whom I met in Seattle in 1995. We went back to Tashkent for a visit in August 2008.
Currently living in Kent, Wa with my wife, brilliant 21 year old stepson, dear mother-in-law and a big gray dog.
After 45 years I went to my first HS Class of 61 reunion in Aug 2006. WOW!
THEN in 2011 our 50th class reunion.
