Jerry L.(Swami)'s Story

Life First I would like to say What'z Up to everyone out there! It's taken me forever and a day to get this done. I guess I'll start with the time when I left Bowsher and moved to Michigan to finish out my senior year (How cruel). I graduated from Saginaw High, a serious culture shock for me at the time,after graduating and surviving "Sagnasty" (grew up a lot there, I joined the U.S. Army in 1981 as an Dental Laboratory Technician. California was my first duty station, then Kansas and off to Germany. Those were the best times of my life. Went to the "running of the bulls" in Spain. Did a lot of traveling with the post rugby team I played for - France, Scotland, Africa, Amsterdam (smile), Italy and Greece to name a few. You become very well traveled as a service member. Spent time in Korea and saw Japan, China, Philippians, and Thailand (smile). I've been everywhere man! I finally tied the knot in 1995 with a fellow service member, her name is Valerie. She has two children from a previous marriage, a son named Christopher (22) and a daughter named Andrea (21) both live in San Diego where they were born. I unfortunately (or fortunately)never had any children. I love to skydive, snowboard, and fish and hunt. I'm almost 42 (April 30) and still act like I'm 13. I love life and have not slow down yet. The "then" picture ...Expand for more
was all I could find until I go home and dig thru my momz stuff, it’s my 10th grade picture (what a man, huh). The other picture is on top of my apartment in Seoul, Kore some Navy dude got me hooked on cigars while I was on the DMZ. My favorite toy right now is my Yamaha R1. I drag race every now and then in some liitle town over in Jackson, SC. We are stationed in Ft. Gordon, GA, which is in Augusta, you golf fans should know about the home of the Masters. I met Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman, and of course Tiger. They give badges away on a lottery every year to see the Masters. I am in the process of finally retiring from the service. ( 24 years!) I'm not feeling the way things are starting to go , so its time for me to go. I'm presently working on getting my same job back as a civilian. It's like an Event Planner for the post. Not sure what else to say , but I miss all of you guys and hope to see you at one of our future reunions. I'm working on my personal relation with the Lord, so I have chilled some. Anyway hope you enjoyed my Bio, typing is not my forte at all and it took an act of congress to get me this far. May peace and happiness follow you for the rest of your days and thank you for being a part of my life. I will never forget the times I had at Bowsher and Saginaw. Love you guys - Strength and Honor
