Michael's Story
Let¿s see, what is my story? After graduating in June 62, moved downtown off Woodward, worked in the Penobscot Bldg as a Photostat cameraman.
Joined the Army late 64, Basic in Missouri, then Massachusetts to be a Morse code interceptor (decided I didn¿t want to do that for 4 years), so off to Ft Sam in Texas to be a medic and then Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii. Thought I would do my last 3 years in paradise until they started the jungle training, so off to Cu Chi, Viet Nam came back and ended my time at Ft Ord, by Monterey, Big Sur in Calif.
Served with a guy from Sacramento, so, started to visit whenever I could get a pass and when I got out (late 68) moved there. So, northern Calif. in the late 60¿s, what can I say?
Married in 71, divorced in 75, one daughter, back to school, AA degree, Radio Announcer 10 years, moved to Chicago in 83, worked for a friend in the Modular Office Furniture Installation field, his c...Expand for more
ompany failed, so started my own, moved business and self back to Sacramento in 89. Got married again in 01 and divorced again this year-2010
In 03 closed business and went to work for a company that had a contract with Dept of Homeland Security and spent the last 7 years flying all over the U.S. and all territory¿s recruiting and assessing for hire the TSO (Transportation Security Officers) for our airports. When they did not rebid the contract, I retired, now bored and looking for something to do.
Still do volunteer work for local school district, my speech coach retired so I no longer help with his night classes at City College.
Do vacation, go to Jamaica every year and Mexico when I can, many in the family have relocated to Arizona (Mesa), so I visit often.
So, anybody interested in saying hello, look forward to hearing how life has treated you. I can be found at mrbpoi and that¿s at yahoo. Drop me a line!!
