Dennis's Story

Well here it is 39 years later and no one at school would have gressed that i have stayed at my first job all these years. I work for Maritz Inc and hopefully will retire from there in another 6 years. Was married for 20 years and had 2 kids from that marrage. Divorced and enought said about that. Was playing backgammon one day on the computor and met this wonderful turkish lady who lived in Australia. She is a very talented artist who has lived a very extraordinary life. We talked for a year then she decided to come and meet me in person. Three weeks after she got here we were married and that was 8 years ago. Her two sons still live in Australia and her mother and father live in Turkey. I have been too Turkey twice now once in 05 and again in 07. It is a beauiful country and the people are very friendly. I am awestruck by Mina and her family, they are so talented and loving i cannt begin to tell you how special they are. Mina's mother was a Prima...Expand for more
Donna in the Turkish opera and her dad was a Army Officer during the Turkish Greek war. She has a first cousin who is one of the top 100 richest men in Turkey. I kid you not..... It is truely amazing that she comes from such a background yet fits so wonderfully into my family, everyone loves her to death here.....me most of all. We are hoping to retire to australia so she can be with her kids when they have children. So thats pretty well it. who would have dreamed this would happen to me. update went to australia this may of 09 met my wifes two sons finally, its a wonderful place to visit beauiful country. wont be traveling for a while as i dont have a job anymore and i know there are a lot of people out there in the same shape . oh well i enjoyed the 40th class reunion we had this last fall got to see a lot of old friends even tho i didnt recogize many of them wow did we all change lol.any way thats the update still alive and kicking ..... .
