Robert's Story
I attended 4 years at Los Altos, but I didn’t excel in any sports, nor did I break any GPA records. I loathed to have my picture taken, so there are only a few in the yearbooks, although I did have a senior prom photo (can’t believe I had such a beautiful date!).

I completed my basic training at Ft. Ord, California, along with another classmate, Robert (Bobby) Brown. We were in the same company together and I would sure like to talk to him someday about our experiences and the people we met. If anyone knows who to get in touch with him, please let me know.
After Basic I went to Ft. Gordon, Georgia, for more training and from there to Heilbronn, Germany. I returned home in April 1970 as a Sargent E5.
