HELLO CLASS OF 61, I AM NOT VERY TALENTED ON COMPUTER,SO PLEASE TRY TO BEAR WITH ME. I THINK I STARTED BECOMING A SCREW-UP THE YEAR AFTER SURVIVING SISTER EDWARDS (.BIG ED)7TH GRADE CLASS. AFTER ONE YEAR AT ST.GEORGE,THEY ASKED ME NOT TO RETURN. I WENT TO ROOSEVELT TILL I TURNED 16, NOT SO PRODUCTIVE. NEVER FINISHED 9TH GRADE. TOO BUSY CHASING GIRLS AND GETTING IN TROUBLE. WENT TO LOGAN FOR A YEAR OF HARD-CORE EDUCATION AND THEN ON TO WORK. MARRIED IN 68, AND MADE JOURNEYMAN BRICKLAYER IN 69.DID NOT WORK OUT WELL!! WORKING FOR DAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH ,DID LOVE AND RESPECT HIM,BUT HARD TO HANDLE 40 HOURS A WEEK. PURSUED MY ONE OF MY PASSIONS AND BECAME A TRUCK DRIVER, SILLY RIGHT? ENDED UP NO LONGER MARRIED, BUT WITH TWO GREAT SON'S. REMARRIED IN 81 TO A LADY IN TEXAS, AND STILL TOGETHER.DID ALMOST 30 YEARS IN TEXAS BEFORE ESCAPING BACK TO ILLINOIS THREE YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN ON CLASSMATES A COUPLE YEARS AND FINALLY DECIDED TO TELL SOME OF MY STORY. THE REASON FOR ME DOING THE TWO FINGERED,MISSPELLED TYPING IS ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE NIGHTS OF THE LAST 50 YEARS ,CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, WAS SPENT AT OUR 25TH CLASS REUNION. IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR, THANKS.I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP. NOW FOR THE PUNCH-LINE. I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO ATTEND A 50TH,...Expand for more
