Danny's Story
Life
I was born in COOS BAY Oregon in 1954, Moved to Grants Pass area in 1959 and went to first grade at Hugo School, Moved closer to Merlin In 1961, then I went to Merlin School, Then we moved to Azalea Drive and went to Fort Vannoy School, Then on to Fleming Jr High, and then To Grants Pass High School, Where I graduated in 1974. And in those years I met many People that I will never forget, and I think of often.
I went into the Air Force in Jan. of 1975, I did not stay because I didn't want to lie about me being Gay. I got and Honorable under medical dis-charge. I came home and helped my Grandmother out at her place in Empire Oregon, Then went back to Merlin area, and helped remoldle several Bussiness in Merlin, and Yard work.
Got Married to a sweet gal (she kne...Expand for more
w up front that I was gay), in 1979. Joined the National Guards in 1980, and got my honorable dis- charge.
I went to Prison for about 5 years and came out and moved to the Portland area, where I live to this day in Gresham just east of downtown.
I still play some pool (APA), Camp when I can, Fish, Long Walks, and many other things too, Weather permitting. I am still an emotional wreck, HIV POZ, and still think of the many friends i had in my past years. Even today there is not much i won't do to help my friends, Money is not everything in my world! and i refuse to be bitter at some things in my life !!Love you all Danny
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is JAMES MENGES, because HE WAS THE ONE PERSON THAT TREATED ME LIKE A TRUE FRIEND ! .
