Leonard[Skip]'s Story
left Columbus when I was 18, enlisted in the USN. Spent 20 years, allin in submarines. I really enjoyed those years, but all good things must end so I retired. Married a local girl early on, after all these years we are still together. The last 19 years have been in the CT economy. This is really a screwed place to be. CT has not been prepared for any of the changes that have occurred. 2 years ago I lost my job. They didn't like me and I didn't like them. Took a year to convince unemployment I was right. But I finally did. Finally found a part-time job, had a workers comp accident February of this year, that was 7 months ago. things are getting hard, but hanging in there. Believe things are beginning to turn around. Time to rattle the bars and beat on the doors because things will improve only if I push for the change that I need. I know this all general information, nevertheless...Expand for more

Went back to work 1 year ago this past week. I certainly enjoy it. I have not returned to Columbus, except for short visits. Once again, I wish all of you the very best lives, may God bless all of you. It is now 2016 we c are still in northeastern CT, Canterbury to be precise. My 2,daughters are grown, my grandchildren are grown or almost grown and we have 2 great grandchildren. Another granddaughter getting married and life goes on. We are a long way from 1971. And we ate definitely not children anymore, life has had it's ups and downs but I continue to look forward . Maybe I will see some one of these days. Skip
Update: Retired in late 2016. Had several issues to deal with. Was close enough to retirement seemedthe best course. Have been adjusting to retirement, not as easy as it sounds.
