Gregory's Story
Life
Went to SDSU for a year and then enlisted in the Navy (rather than being drafted---we remember that don't we). Spent 6 years in the Navy as an Electronics Technician and Reactor Operator on a slow attack submarine (USS Swordfish SSN 579). After getting out of the Navy, I went to back to Southwestern J C. for 3 months until I was hired (over the phone no less) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (Dept of Energy). Worked as a Reactor Operator for 6 years and was then promoted to Shift Supervisor.

Facility I work at was trying to get a project to treat brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme) with neutrons (kill the cancer without killing healthy tissue).

Married in 1977 to my wife Linda, Have 2 sons, ages 12 and 22. I hope there is going to be a 40 year reunion. Made it to the 10 yr & 30 yr reunion but i didn't get to see some of the people I wanted to see. So if we do have a 40 yr reunion, I would like to see or hear from the following people---Bill Worden, Bob Crowl, Jerry Halamuda, Kathy or Linda Rassmussen, Jackie Sheggeby.
