Garrett's Story
Life
RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL I JOINED THE NAVY AS A HOSPITAL CORPSMAN. I SPENT MOST OF TIME IN THE US, BUT WENT TO ICELAND THE LAST TWO YEARS. AFTER THAT I WENT INTO THE MERCHANT MARINE,WORKING ON A CRUISE SHIP. I THEN DID A COMPLETE TURNAROUND, AND BECAME AN AUTO MECHANIC FOR THE NEXT 30 YRS.,EVENTUALLY HAVING MY OWN BUSINESS. I WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF A PIT CREW WITH A RACE CAR FOR 13 YRS. I RETIRED FROM THE AUTO BUSINESS IN 1998, AND STARTED WORKING FOR AN ENGINEERING CONSULTANT FIRM THAT I AM WORKING FOR TODAY. NEVER GOT MARRIED, BUT HAVE BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP FOR THE PAST 8 YRS. WITH A REAL GREAT WOMAN. MAYBE I WILL FINALLY GET MARRIED AFTER ALL. 6/24/05 WELL, AFTER 60 YEARS I AM FINALLY TAKING THE PLUNGE. WE ARE GETTING MARRIED OCT 22,2005. I GUESS IT...Expand for more
'S ABOUT TIME. THAT DAY WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF OUR 10TH YEAR TOGETHER. Update: 11/30/2007. After a little over 2 years of marriage, My wife died of lung cancer. We had a good time together and I tried to make her as happy as I could. She had a 5 year struggle. She had a strong will to live. Even thouggh we had a short time together, it was still worth it and I would have done it the same way again. Update 3/7/2010: As of Jan 1st I am retired and loving it. Collecting and restoring old radios and general antiques. Got radios anyone?
College
