Allen's Story
After high school I was a lifeguard at Brooke Manor Country Club along with Mike Desimone and Bob Graninger while I attended Montgomery Junior College for a couple of years. I went into the Marine Corps in 1962 and spent 14 years there with multiple tours in Vietnam as both an enlisted man and a Chief Warrant Officer. I left the Corps after obtaining a college degree and worked about 11 years as a stockbroker until a contract dispute made me decide to leave the industry. I was a corporate controller for a while until being activated in the Army reserves in 1991. after my 6 months of active duty,(all my military time was spent in the ordnance field). I returned to the Wheaton area and was the head bookkeeper at Wheaton Lumber Company for a couple of years. Then, in order to use my 14 years plus military active duty time toward a second retirement ( I retired from the reserves), I went to th...Expand for more
e Postal Service for 10 years and bought my active duty time in and took a 24 year postal retirement.( While at the post office , I was a clerk and finance supervisor). Along the way I was married twice and have three daughters. After retiring, I have held security jobs at the Pentagon explosive device detection unit,, was a screener for Air Force One, and I was a security police member at FLETC ( the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center) Retired now!.I would like to add that I spoke with Mike Spear just days before his untimely death (along with his wife and daughter) in a plane crash. I would especially like to hear from Joe Ondeck and John Conrad , both of whom were in the Marines.( I'd also like to know if anyone else from the Class of '59 was in the Corps).
