Arlen's Story
Life
I still live in Chicago. Live in Mt. Greenwood now. Was a Police Officer on Chicago Police for 11 years, then promoted to Detective in 2001. Been married since 1977 and still going strong. Have a son and daughter-in-law who blessed us with a granddaughter and grandsons. Have a daughter who passed away in 2014. Even though I have a lot of pain in my back, can't sit still. Always finding something to do, even though I pay for it with the back pain. In 2015 had a heart attack. Minor one but all is good 4 years later. Plan on being around a long time aggravating everybody.
A post I saw which is so true. 'When a was a kid, I couldn't wait to grow up but I never expected this crap".
Well as of June 29th 2019 officially retired. I always loved animals so I transport rescued dogs that go to foster homes until adoption. It is something that I feel like I'm giving back. Always was the dog whisperer. I have a zoo. 2 dogs I adopted within the last mo...Expand for more
nth. 3 month old puppy and a 2 year old beagle. Plus 4 cats. I always have been an advocate of adopting pound puppies and rescued dogs. The give so much love to have a forever home. Was going to move out of state, but I raised my children in this home. I remember my daughter in this home. That means alot.
Have rekindled many friendships thru facebook. Many past friends and many past girls who I really cared about but back then just too shy and low self esteem to let them know. But with age those traits are long gone. I have met many people in my life that I have bonded with and truly will always love. friends and family. I just hope everybody from the best class at Kelly, the Class of '74 is in good health and happy in our golden years. Retired in 2019. Nice and relaxed.
God Bless you all. I'm not a church goer, but I believe in God whether or not that bothers you. I have to believe that one day I will be with those I have lost way too early.
