I attended Webster Groves High for my sophomore year and Plymouth Junior High in Webster Groves for my freshman year. My father died of a heart attack in summer of 1962. Moved to Blueberry Hill on Vontalge Rd. in south county in 1963 at 4217 Sunnyview Dr.. It's amazing how life changes unexpectedly. Since I only went to Lindbergh for only two years, I am sort of mad at myself for not meeting and connect with students. Joined the naval reserve after graduation. Boot camp at Great Lakes. Spent nearly 2 years stationed in Norfolk, VA. First assignment was shore duty for a year at Comservlant. Next, sea duty aboard USS Georgetown.
