Ken's Story
I actually graduated in 76. I dropped out in my junior year for one year then went back. Everyone I knew was class of 75. I was pretty quiet in High School. I hung out with a small group of close friends; Paul, "JoJo", Linda, and Mariana. Favorite teachers were Steve Davis, Leah Ready, and Mrs. Waters. Least favorite was Mr. Coleman. My favorite classes were Electronics and Metal Shop. I wasn't really engaged in HS. I thought the academic classes were boring and I was anxious to get out into the real world.

h school, I joined the Navy to see the world but was never sent outside the continental US. So, I got out after 6 years of working on radars and got a job overseas. I got to spend 2 years in Saudi Arabia where I worked at the airports in Jeddah and Medina. After that, I got a job locally. Merrilou and I got married in 1992. We never had children. Merrilou is from Valley HS. In 2012 I went back to school to refresh my skills and got a degree in Computer Information Technology. Got a Cisco certification and quickly got snatched up by a local company just a few blocks from our house. I officially left the rat race and retired June 2019.
That's it in a nutshell!
