Oscar's Story
Graduated in 1966 and quickly entered the military a month later since I had no immediate plans of going to college at that time. Stayed in for four years and discharged in Feb. of 1970. This was a blessing in disguise since I later found out about the great benefits of the G.I. Bill. Went to college to become a professional student but received two degrees during that time. Basically, I stayed in good ole S.A. and have been working at CPS for the past 30 years. I'll be retiring pretty soon and hope to take a well deserved time out.
Looking back, these years have past by pretty quick and I have hit a couple of bumps on the road of life along the way but have been able to recover with hardly a scratch. I recently had the opportunity of hooking up with some old school buddies of mine and got together for lunch. Of course, we all changed physically but picked up on the conversation as if we had not seen each other for only a few days instead of 40+ years. I guess that's what friendships are all about......
P.S. An update (11/26/12) of what has been happening since I first posted my story......Expand for more
....In one of my album photos (the first one with the three of us with a football full of beer each) the guy in the middle has passed away. The only reason that I mention this is because he was a friend that I had known for only ten years but found out that he also went to Lanier and was also in the band just as I was. We quickly hit it off as freinds and I think it was because of our similar backgrounds and the fact that we attended the same high school.
Besides that, I wanted to mention that I have retired from CPS since April1, 2010 and have been enjoying the freedom that retirement brings to me. Of course, there is that never ending 'Honey do" list that sometimes makes me wish that I was back at work but I don't think I'll be doing that at all. I still enjoy going fishing and getting together with some my of friends from high school that are still close to me. I come to visit my classmates site every once in a while and try to catch up with some notes that I have received. That's about it for now and I'll be looking for people that I knew back in school. You all take care and see you soon......
