William's Story
I lived in Hawaii from 1967-1970. My Dad was in the Air Force you know. In 1970 he got orders to McCoy AFB where he got mustered out of the service. My family stayed in the Orlando area. I transferred to Conway junior high from Aliamanu. From there I entered Boone high school but quit before graduating to join the Navy.

ng story short, I was going to become old enough to enlist before my class mates so I quit school. I did like playing hippie but I was patriotic and wanted to do my part before the Vietnam war ended.

Bill on getting my high school diploma and then a tech school trade. I am retired now and am glad, finally I can do things when and where I want and don't have to worry about my job.
