Mark's Story
Life
I suppose you could say I am the average "Joe Sixpack" (or maybe 18-pack). Not rich, not poor, but comfortable. I have worked at McDonnell-Douglas, (now Boeing Co.) for 20+ years building the finest fighter aircraft in the world. I am currently working on the F/A 18 e/f Super Hornet Project. I have a wonderful wife Lisa of 22 years,2 boys 19 and 12. I am close to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I used to bowl 2 nights a week,(but job and other responsibilities have put that on hold for now) like the outdoors, rehabbing houses (partially why bowling and other things have been put on hold) , Rams, Blues and Cardinal fan. Like to have a few (and occasionally a few too many)beers now and then.
I love the fall weather and the holiday season because the family still gets together and gets along for the most part....Expand for more
I truly believe with God all things are possible. Would like to see what became of some of the "vocational parking lot crew", I can only imagine.
School
I wasn't real big on school, spent more time in the vocational parking lot and playing pool at Reilly's Tavern than at school. I made it through by the seat of my pants. School was mostly party time and finding out what was going on for the weekend.
If I knew then what I know now I would have spent a little more time studying and getting involved in school stuff, but, hey I had fun!
Workplace
Keller Farms, Northgate Resturaunt, Chief's Quickshop on 157 (Where McDonald's is now), Edwardsville Bargain Center, Missouri Pacific (Union Pacific), City of Collinsville (Collinsville Library), XTRA Intermodal, and finally Boeing Co. aka McDonnell-Douglas Corp.
