Norman Swiger:  

Life After high school I got a job and my own apartment. I began attending Penn State Shenango (eventually getting my two year degree in 1982). In 1977, I married Debbie Hauck (sweet!) and we had our first child, Dan. I began working at Sears and eventually we moved to Butler. I renewed my committment to Christ and we became more involved as a family in our local church. Our second child, Ben, was born in 1982. Debbie continued her college coursework and received her bachelor's from Slippery Rock in 1986. I moved up in Sears eventually ending up in a regional job in Pittsburgh. Wanting more, I moved on to DuBois, PA and tried out things at Montgomery Ward. Dan did very well in high school especially in music. He was a district and regional band attendee and received some high honors for his excellent trumpet playing. Debbie was a long term sub for a couple of years in DuBois, but finally left teaching and entered the banking field. From DuBois, I moved with Wards to Charleroi,PA; Southfield,MI; Rome,NY and finally Utica,NY all in the capacity of store manager. Dan attended Grove City College and received his degree in History and English in 1999. Ben excelled in swimming at Holland Patent High in NY and eventually made in to the state level. His specialty was butterfly and he left an indelible mark at his high school with 9 record being set during his four years. Dan married in 1999 to another GCC grad, Eva Rogers, of Lancaster,PA. They now live in Gaithersburg, MD. Dan works at The Fund for American Studies in DC and Eva works at Sodexho in Gaithersburg...Expand for more
