George's Story

George Goodchild, Thurston HS class of '63. Left HS, had various short term jobs cause I was bored, so I joined the USAF so I could be my own boss. That didnt work out well, what with Vietnam and all, so I decided to go to college. Finished my freshman year at the Univ of Philippine Is while in the service. Went to MSU when I got out, MSU class of Dec 70. Became a teacher in Montrose, MI (just north of Flint) on 2/1/71. Became asst principal on 1/5/78, after getting my masters at EMU 6/77. Became Princial of Montrose MS, then Central Office. Became superintendent of Kingston Community Schools (out in the thumb, east of Saginaw), and commuted there from Birch Run, where we lived, so my kids didnt have to move. They had good friends and were doing well. Chad, Jeffiny, and Janae graduated 2nd, 10th, and 5th in their classes respectively. Chad, now 32, is an assistant vice pres for Merrill-Lynch in NY. Jeffiny, now 30, is a pharmesutical rep for Adventis drug company in NC, and was married over labor day weekend of 08 in Napa Valley, CA at a w...Expand for more
inery. Janae, now 28, was married 9/15/06, was a teacher in a sort of prison for teen girls in MA, but has moved to Louisville, KY with her new husband and is subbing for Louisville schools while she works on her masters in education. I went on to become the superintendent at Whittemore-Prescott Schools, north of Bay city. Now I am retired and living in West Branch, MI with my wife of 35 years, Carolyn. She is a CMU grad, class of '70, and was an elementary teacher in New Lothrop, MI til the kids started coming. She said she was raising them herself, and she did an excellent job. I now sit on 6 boards of directors, doesnt pay anything, but it is give-back time. We have been on 3 cruises, visited Hawaii twice, been to Paris, London and Rome, as well as other international sites. Not terribly exciting, but we like our life. Chad & Rebecca gave us our only two grandchildren so far, Hayden Sawyer is 3 and Sophia Adele is 16 mo. They are a delight, and we go to NY at the drop of a hat to babysit him them, which will be this Thursday, 9/11/08.
