Dennis's Story
Life
After graduation I joined the Navy and served aboard two destroyers, where I achieved the rank of Fire Control Technician - 2nd class (FTG2). After being discharged in 1969, I rejoined my family in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
In 1971 met my wife Donna, while playing in a weekend softball league with her brother. Donna & I got married in 1972, and I worked a few small jobs until the Fall of '73, when I was hired as a Sales Rep at Motorola, where I have been for the last 33 years.
We have 3 sons - Denny, Scott & Todd. They're all still single, working at various jobs, and getting on with their lives. Hopefully, we'll be grandparents one of these days.
We enjoy our family and living in Florida, and t...Expand for more
he boys have kept me busy playing football and softball over the years. (But now it's mostly fishing, golf and the guitar.)
I finally made it back to Erie for the 35th class reunion and it was GREAT to see everyone. I'm proud to be a Centaur, and I enjoy my high school memories.
**** After 33 years with Motorola, I decided to retire this past December, (2006). We also thought that we'd had enough heat, humidity, hurricanes, and high prices, so we put the Florida house up for sale and purchased 3.5 acres of land in the Blue Ridge mountains. We're currently building a cabin there and we hope to move in sometime this Fall.
Emails are always welcome, so please send me a note. I'd love to hear from you.
