Ross (Rosco)'s Story
Life
In high school you'll knew me as Ross Pool, (attention seeking, non-studious, live for the party type of guy)......
well not much has changed there. Ok, maybe I am a bit more responsible now.
Lets see, after graduation I worked with Paula Williamson at her dad's Mobil station for a bit. Joined the Navy just before Thanksgiving of 1982, did a 7 year hitch, two overseas tours, and visited 14 countries. I was stationed out of San Diego, Ca. and this is where I met my lovely wife of 20 years, Deborah Ann Pool. After I got out of the service I worked a couple different jobs in San Diego. In 1992 we moved back to good ol Mandeville and I went back to school. I am now working for Confederate Motorcycles in Abita Springs, I am a electronics technician running the elec. assembly phase in the production line. Never thought I would actually be getting paid to do something I really love. I did attend the 10, 15 and 20 year reunion, had a blast and am really looking forward to the 30. I hope you all can make it down.
