Military
Spent 6 mos in Texas...just about like another country!
Then about a year and a half in Alabama (y-all) Then one trip to Vietnam, then to N.J for awhile, then back to exotic S.E. Asia! After that I was really ready to be a civilian again!I travel quite a bit, but after SE Asia,I am not very enthusiastic about travel outside the US.
My sister keeps me informed about sporatic news of Orange that she manages to gather. Mr Russman(chem teacher) died a few years ago. He left Orange and was teaching in Brick Twp and was living in Pt Pleasant.I will try to add to this as time permits.
