Roland's Story
Life
I went to Narbonne High from 1964-1966. after 11th grade I decided to join the Marine Corps, problems at home made me decide that joining the Corps was in my best interest. I went to Nam in 1967-1968 where I was in a Firefight during Tet 1968. I received multiple wounds through my whole body.

irement in 1997. Yes I was fortunate enough to Retire at the old age of 48. I now ride my Custom Cruiser and just finished building a Tryke. A friend and I are planning to building a old school chopper. I will use it for bar hopping(I don't drink)it's a term bikers use to ride short distances to events and enter into custom bike shows. I joined Classmates so I could rekindle relationships I let go years ago. I hung out with Danny Reyes, John Russell(Paul Russells Bro), David Porter, Johnny Osborne, Dicky Thompson, Rodney White, Kathy Becky Hooper and Caren Long. I hope they will contact me. My Brother Dan Marchand, and My Sister Joan Marchand also went to Narbonne.
