Anthony's Story
My story leads me from Monterey High to 2 years of MPC with no degree coming out of there. I was tired of school which was foolish of me. I went into the workforce and became a truck driver for Bell Magazine. During that time, I met my wife, Debbie Cook, sister of my best friend, Jim Cook Sr. Jimmy and I have been best friends for years. He was instrumental in leading me to Jesus Christ and becoming a born-again Christian. Because of my testimony as a Christian, being a truck driver and delivering questionable magazines, I found a job with Lockwood Technical Incorporated doing electrical work and worked myself up through ranks to middle management and a purchasing buyer position. Like all manufacturing businesses, it was traded a couple of times and became ITW Dynatec with movement to Tennessee out of Sand City, CA. Tennessee is where I retired after 35 years in the business. It has been fruitful.
But the most rewarding, has been my walk with Jesus Christ. ...Expand for more
Life has been rough. I have seen good times and bad times, lost a daughter early on in our marriage, seen both parents pass away, and saw my wife suffer from colon cancer and die in 2005. The price for discipleship with Jesus Christ can be high, but I am not one to turn back to my old life. The world is a bummer and without faith in your Lord; it can be depressing.
I have 2 children, Christina (adopted when she was 2 days old) and TJ, "Tony Junior" (family labeled him at a picnic,...TJ). They have given me 5 grandchildren with another due in December 2009, count 6 for me. I should have had my grandchildren first! It is good to spoil them.
I think back on Monterey High and all those good times and all those good friends. I will miss Dwight Minnear, who died in Vietnam, such a good friend. But, I would like to find out about Maggie Lewis, Carol Crieghton (Beebe), and Jay Wright. I will also miss Rick Hubbard who passed away suddenly. All good friends.
