Joe's Story
Life
Joined Air Force and served seven yrs. enlisted 1961-1968. Got converted to Christianity in 1971 and went to college, grad school, seminary, and then back to the Air Force as a Chaplain 1978-1981. Switched to the US Navy to serve the USMC 1981-1983, Finished in the Navy Reserve and did a total of 25 yrs. retiring as a Naval Commander. I was a VA hospital Chaplain for seven yrs. and retired from there also. I have been a minister for twenty nine yrs, and taught high school for 6 yrs.
I am separated from my current wife and in process of getting divorced.
At the age of fifty four, I was tested and found to be a classic ADD type person. I thought I was just crazy, but lo and behold, I was only a handicapped fun loving little rascal, or was I...Expand for more
a big rascal? I thought of apologizing to all the folks I must have driven to madness, but the list would probably be too long.
I never forgave my mom for throwing away my old Casual jacket,and whoever stole my Casual plaque from the back of my 61 Chevy, would you please return it.
I was a Special Education teacher at Banning High School in Banning ca. and enjoyed being back in high school.
i am currently doing missionary work in Tijuana Mexico and will be moving the ministry to an hour east of Ensenada and will split my time between there and Jemez Valley New New Mexico. I would love to communicate with old classmates as I have many fond memories of Maxson School, Mt. View, and good old El Monte High. Call me: 909-728-6019. I am also on Facebook.
