Douglas's Story
I am now retired from the Army. While I still have that part that misses it, my family is glad there are no more deployments. I am proud of what I did and my brothers and sisters that are still serving. My son, Chase, is in the process of entering the Army and my nephew, Michael, is in the Air Force. My son in law, Rob, is also in the Air Force and I am proud of them all.
I do have a large family. 12 children and 15 grandchildren at this point. Who would have thought that after being raised with a large family, I would have an even larger one?
In my lifetime, I have met a lot of people from different countries, seen a lot of different cultures. I can't say I have eaten all of their foods, but I did try some.

rent from ours. The main difference was the circumstances under which they lived.
It's even kind of funny to think of how diverse our Class of 1970 was. We all shared the same graphic area, and yet we were all quite different from one another. Some of us wanted very little to make us happy, others wanted the world. Some of us traveled around the world a little while others pretty much remained in the area. There is nothing wrong with any of it, but it shows that even in a small school there is a lot of diversity.
I wonder at times where everyone has gone, but I know that many will not communicate with the class again. It would be really a lot of fun if we could get the majority of the class together again one last time. While we have lost some of them, the others could talk about what they remember about even them.
GOD BLESS .
