W. David's Story

My Spouse: We met at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station Enlisted club. My wife to be(Johnette or Johnnie as I call her) was there with a college girl friend. This 'friend' met someone and left her stranded at the club. I, being the gentleman that I am ;), came to her rescue and the rest is history:)....41 years but who's counting?! Johnnie retired in 2005 from a 33 year public school teaching career. She was selected in 94 as Teacher of the Year for New Jersey and in 97 as Biology Teacher of the year. She is currently teaching at a private school. UPDATE: My wife retired from teaching in June 2011. My Pets: We have three cats(the count was five-lost two due to old age...17yrs). Topaz, Stormy and Minnie...they're mostly white. Topaz has eyes that look like topaz(she's the mother of the other two). Stormy was first born during a blizzard and Minnie's ears and tail are black like Minnie Mouse. Cricket and General(Jenny) were the two that passed on. UPDATE: Down to two now, Topaz is no longer with us 6/2010...she was 18. UPDATE: Stormy and Minnie are gone now also. My Kids They have become wonderful people...in spite of misguided parenting :). My son Justen is a college graduate and served in the US Army(Germany, Bosnia & Iraq) and works for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and my daughter Alexis is a college graduate with a Masters in psychology and works for Kid's Peace. UPDATE:...Expand for more
Our son and daughter-in-law are having a baby in July and my daughter is getting married in August. The day after Alexis gets married, I leave for Sturgis Bike Week in Sturgis S.D. UPDATE#2, our son and daughter in law had a boy, Parker, on July 15, 2010. Our daughter and son in law will be having a boy on or about August 30, 2011. UPDATE#3, our daughter and son in law had a boy, Alexander, on August 23, 2011. I guess he IS Alexander the Great - the east coast had an earth quake minutes after he was born and he came home during a hurricane! UPDATE#4, We have a granddaughter Emmersen, born on July15, 2012 to our son and Daughter-in-law. My Job Working as an IBM Systems Services Rep, it's different every day...never dull or boring, however it can be very stressful at times, such as when a customer's large or mid-range computer system is 'down' and they want it operational 'yesterday'. It also involves being subject to call-outs in the middle of the night or on weekends. There is an upside to the job....not being tied to an office all day and being on the road covering your territory and meeting new people. I just retired from my second job in the US Navy Air Reserve July 13 2008 as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer with VR-52....this was the most rewarding....40 years in the Navy, whew! UPDATE!!...Well, a new chapter unfolds in my life; I retired from IBM on April 01,2010.
