Susan's Story
I left Manchester, Ohio at the end of 8th grade when my family moved to League City, Tx. I spent 3 years at Clear Creek High School only to have my dad's job move us again before my senior year. I don't cry about that however, because I attended Marymount International in Paris, France, which was a very small school in sharp contrast to Clear Creek. I wish I could say that I made lifetime friends in any of those schools, but the transient nature of my life didn't seem to support it.
I have been married for a lot of years and we have 3 sons of which two survive. My middle son was killed in Baghdad, Iraq in 2006. My oldest son is on his 3rd deployment and is currently serving in Iraq until October 2010. My "baby" is 21,...Expand for more

I regret that in 1968 I was so self centered as an 8th grader that the sacrifices soldiers and their families were making in Vietnam were so distant, though it was daily front page news. I'm sorry that my classmates who had brothers serving in Vietnam didn't feel that they could share their fears with us. How those families had to suffer alone! I can not imagine!
I am now looking forward to retirement in June 2011 and it is my plan to work with veterans and wounded soldiers; just a small way to do my part and show my gratitude.
I'm sure there will never be a class reunion for me, but there are individuals that I'd love to hear from and I know that you will know who you are.
