John's Story
Life
Married Karen Huntley,who graduated from West Meck in 1974,two children,Nicole,19& Daniel,17.served 6 years in the Navy,12 years in the North Carolina Air National Guard,plan to retire from the Guard in 2 years. I graduated with 2 Associate Degrees from CPCC & 1 Associate Degree from Central Carolina Community College.I presently am employed with Intermec Technologies a an electronic technician group leader.
Unfortunately my son Daniel died suddenly and unexpectly back in June of 2004. It has been very hard adjusting to this loss in our family,but we have recieved great support from friends and former classmates!
Really enjoyed our last class reunion back in September 2002.
It took place the day after I returned from my Desert Tour in the Middle East serving in Operation Noble Eagle and Enduring Freedom.Hottest place on the planet!Summer temps from 116 to 130 degrees! It was great to be home!Too old for that now!
Looking foward to the next reunion!
My daughter Nicole is getting married October 1. Some of her friends want Nicole to enter the Mrs. North Carolina Beauty Pagent after she is married.
She definitely has a chance if she wanted to do this,but I think she is content to be a hair stylist...Maybe someday!

On September 25th Nicole blessed us with a beautiful Grandson.
Logan Ryan Gillenwater weighed 8 lbs. and was 20 in. long when born.
This was especially a blessing because Logan was born on Nicole's 26th birthday.What a great birthday present Nicole had!
I have not been this happy since I retired out of the Military!
This will be a nice story to tell at our next reunion!
College
Not much that exciting here!Worked part time for Duke Power while attending CPCC..Graduated with an AAS Degree in Electronics in 1979, an Industrial Health and Safety Degree from CPCC in 1983 and an AAS Degree in Military Science from Central Carolina Community College in Sanford,NC. Thank God for the GI Bill! Spent many a late nite at CPCC,completing labs,then after they were finished,walking some of the young ladies to their cars because they were scared to walk through the dark spooky parking lot by themselves. Then getting up and doing it all over again,plus playing part time soldier one weekend a month.
I miss seeing some of my friends at college! Seems like yesterday!
My daughter Nicole and my son in law Jamey blessed us with our 2nd grandson.
Landon Rylee Gillenwater was born Oct. 22,2008. He weighed 5 lbs. 3 oz.Landon was 3 weeks early.A beautiful baby!
When I get to spend time with my two Grandsons they make me feel 20 years younger!!
