Dave's Story
Life
LIFE HAS BEEN GREAT TO ME. NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL. I GUESS ITS ALL DUE TO GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. I HAVE 2 BEAUTIFUL KIDS AND EVEN MORE WONDERFUL, 7 GRANDKIDS. I REALLY LOVE LIFE. AM PRESENTLY MARRIED TO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHOM I LOVE VERY MUCH. AFTER GRAD. IN 1966 FROM RESEDA, I WORKED SOME BEFORE ENTERING THE MILITARY. I SERVED 8 YRS, IN WHICH I DID 2 TOURS IN VIET NAM:67-68 70-71. I KNOW THAT ALL OF US WHO SERVED OVER THERE REALLY MATURED IN A HURRY. AFTER LEAVING THE MILITARY, I WORKED 15 YRS WITH THE POST OFFICE, BEFORE TAKING A EARLY RETIREMENT. REALLY LOVED THAT JOB!! THEN I MOVED UP TO THE HIGH DESERT AND OPENED A VIDEO STORE IN HESPERIA. THEN MY 10 YR LEASE RAN OUT, SO DECIDED TO MOVE UP TO LAS VEGAS NEV. THERE I WAS A WAITER FOR 7 YRS AT SAMS TOWN HOTEL AND CASINO. MET LOTS OF INTERESTING PEOPLE. NOW, I AM PRESENTLY WORKING ON MY SECOND CONTRACT IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH THE ARMY AS A CIV. CONTRACTOR.
SCHOOL- MY SCHOOL DAYS WERE JUST THERE. SURE I HAD ALOT OF GOOD MEMORIES, BUT OVERALL, I JUST DID ENOUGH TO GET BY ON. THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE!!NEVER WENT TO COLLEGE UNTIL LATER; 82-84. STILL SHORT A FEW UNITS FOR MY AA IN PSYCOLOGY. I GUESS TH...Expand for more
E BIGGEST EVENT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IN MY SCHOOL DAYS STARTED IN THE 3RD GRADE AT NEWCASTLE , THEN CONTINUED ON FROM SEQUOIA TO GRAD AT RESEDA IN 66. THAT BIG EVENT WAS JEANNIE ANDREWS. SHE TREATED ME LIKE A KING ALL THOSE YRS AND IN RETURN I WASN'T THE PERSON TO HER I SHOULD HAVE BEEN. IF YOU ARE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE READING THIS, I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH I STILL THINK OF YOU AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. I REMEMBER GOING TO SEVERAL REUNIONS HOPING TO SEE YOU AGAIN, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED. SURE I WAS MARRIED, BUT IN MY HEART I STILL WANTED TO SEE YOU. I KNOW YOU REALLY HUNG ON TO ME ALL THAT TIME AND WHEN YOU FINALLY SAID NO TO THE SENIOR PROM. I KNEW THEN I DID IT ALL WRONG. JEANNIE, I JUST HOPE THAT WHERE EVER YOU ARE IN THIS WORLD, THAT YOU ARE THE HAPPIEST PERSON ALIVE. I GUESS ITS TAKEN ME OVER 45 YRS TO FINALLY SURFACE FROM KUWAIT AND SAY IAM SORRY. SORRY FOR SAYING NO ALL THOSE TIMES YOU ASKED ME TO THE DIFFERENT SCHOOL DANCES, EVENTS ETC. TO THIS MOMENT, AND TO THE END OF MY TIME, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE WAY YOU TREATED ME AS A TRUE FRIEND. AN THOUGH TODAY, AS I AM HAPPY AND MARRIED, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
