John's Story
Before SGHS, I came from St. Mary Magdalen and lost touch with almost everyone there. After HS I was introduced to Buddhism by my friend Jose and became a member of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism on Feb. 9 1975, I joined the Army in June '75, did my basic training at Ft. Ord Cal. After basic, I was transferred to permanent party in W. Germany and got out at Ft Dix NJ in '78. Spent a year in NYC and moved to Miami Fl in '79. Went to Miami Dade College and was a music major, later I attended RETS ATI and got a AS degree in pre-electronics engineering. After playing with a variety of bands, I landed a job with a major IT company and I worked with them a total of 21 years. I'm now married for...Expand for more
21 yrs and still do practice Buddhist. My first love was Alma Vazquez from the Class of '76 and I lost touch with her when I left for the army. I still have a picture of her and always wondered what became of her. Back then, Alma lived with her grandmother who did not favor me and I guess she never received any of my letters. I hope all of you have been having a great and rewarding life! By the way my official birth name is Jean-Sebastien which translates into John-Sebastian into English. My early teaches had a hard time with the French pronunciation and John stuck for a while but today, people know me as my birth name. Does anyone know about the mutual possession of the "Ten Worlds"?
