Lewis(Gene)'s Story
Hi! I have been in Aurora, Co. since
coming home from Vietnam in April of
1972. I met my pen pal on April 6, 1972 and we were married on April 7,
1973.We have been happily for 36 plus. We have lived in our home for over 32
plus years. I worked till 2001 and the doctors told me I was done working
because I have two cancers ( one of has
been for over 21 years and the second
since 2003) and diabetes since 1982.
Julie and I spend most of our off time
camping and enjoying each other.
I moved to Colorado in 1972 to go to
school but had to go to work because
the VA was always late with my check
for school. I started working as a
salesman for woodworking and metal
working equipment. I have started playing Santa Cluas at christmas for
daycares and onogoly departments
at the VA and My onogoly office...Expand for more
.
I'm still a diehard Husker fan.
Hope to see you on Sept. 11th at the
reunion. We had a great 40th reunion
and got to talk with people I have
not seen for many years.
If you see info. on Carcinod Cancer
like a run (5K) please help if you
can for me and the other carcinoid zebras.
I'm looking for a 69th year book.
I was not able to buy because I had
no money. I would even a 68 or 70.
We have had a busy summer with traveling. We have only been home for
4 weekends since the first of
1st of June. We try to do every thing
when we go into a new area.
I'm looking forward to the 2010.
I have started working with the Patriot Guard Riders of Colorado
since May and a member since 2008. It is a great way to give
honor and respect to the Veterans. I've done more than 50 missions
so far.
