Charles's Story
Life
Wow..
1969 seems like only yesterday,I vividly remember my last day at BPSH..I left and never looked back,now I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning!I know I'm not the only one!!,we are all aging at the same speed...We just can't seem to find that emergency brake.
After leaving school I did a few months in the Job Corps at Lincoln Nebraska, then returned to BP.
Then, as my luck would have it, Uncle Sam started the Draft.
It worked like this,they drew dates out of a hat and any young man born on that date was eligible to serve his Country...which was fine with me!... 9/14/50 was the first date drawn...Now,I'm not going to tell you my birthday,but you can probably guess what it was!...Yep you guessed it.

rders to an ammunition ship located off the coast of Viet Nam...mine,was a supply ship,the USS Denebola AF-56 stationed in Norfolk,Va.
After that day in bootcamp receiving our orders,I have not seen Dennis in 38 years.
After the Navy,I married and settled in York Pa. I have 3 daughters and 6 grand children.
Now Retired at the ripe old age of 56 from the York County Prison,York,Pa. about a mile from "Where Harleys are born".
I enjoy Harleys,Corvettes and English bulldogs,and have owned several of each.
If there are plans for a 40th reunion,count me in and keep me posted....I plan to attend unless I wake up and read my name in the obituary section of the York Daily Record.
Good Health To everyone reading this,and remember "Life is like a big party,so lets all dance our hearts out while we are here"..........Chuck
