Joe's Story
Since graduation, I worked for a US Government subcontractor, Steve Miller and I worked construction and I helped him when he started up his construction company.
I returned back to government work, then became a police officer. I retired as a criminal investigator. I was offered a job that was challenging, lots of traveling. I enjoyed Australia and Spain and plan on going there again. Africa was depressing, as well as South America.
I am currently a spokesman for the school district, I speak to middle school students to stay in school and do their best. Who would have thought that I would be doing this when I was in school. However, as I tell this kids when you graduate, it will be a one greatest thing you have done to start your adult life; Without a high school diploma, you will have minimum wage jobs. Finally, you really need to get a further education or training school to make a better life for yourself and your family.

a point to them. But, the funniest thing was when a tiny petite girl asked me to tell them more war stories. Then her and three other little girls and one boy walked me back to the library where we met with counselors and the principal. They then helped them get started into their careers and gave them passes to their next class. I have been advised that I have been very successful with the students I have spoken to get them excited to stay in school and study. Amazingly, I have received very nice letters from them.
Currently, I am heavily involved in church functions and now a different life goes on. I think that it is really funny that it turned out that way.
It is hard to believe that it has been over forty-eight years since Clark High School. The world has changed a lot and we have changed a lot. I hope for the better. It is not too late to say "Hello" Unfortunately, I did not have time to say "Goodbye" to some of my friends that have passed on. Take Care.........JOE
