Ok gang, 40 years since graduation and here' the short version. As of June '09.
Out of High School I went to Hollywood and received my Radio/TV Broadcasting Certification. Worked off and on to '73.
Was a Lineman for Telephone and Cable TV construction off and on '70 thru '74.
Drafted in '71, sent home with a medical discharge.
Married the first time Dec of '70, remarried her Mar '72, Married a different one New Years '76, Whew... haven't done that again since the end of '79? Don't even ask....
Traveled around the country a few times playing music, inbetween playing in a few clubs as part of the "house band".
Am still playing music, have been with so many bands thru the years can't remember them all. Recorded a CD (yeah, the big time) in '92. Turned out horrible, but sold 10k copies. If you'd like one let me know, I still have 9800 copies. Hey, ya gotta try.
Became a Police Officer July '74
Scuba diver '75 and an Instructor '78. Was on the Butte Recovery Team and the State Dive Team from '75 to '92.
Other than my ki...Expand for more
ds, Scuba is possibly the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
Left Law Enforcement the final time early '92.
Co-own a Scuba Diving Store in TorC and Las Cruces with my partner in life and crime, Siri Rustebakke.
Have four children, 32, 28, 20 and 9yrs old. All have different moms. Not a bad thing.. not a good thing, just worked out tht way. Three grandkids too. 6, 10 and 12 neat!
In the slow season,in between scuba classes and dive trips I drive an 18 wheeler coast-to-coast. Been driving as long as I can remember.
I'm like most of the crew in our age range, My red hair turned auborn then gray and now it's turning loose. What the heck is that all about anyway?
Have a great positive out look on life, still in great health...ok, good health. And am busier now than ever.
My Dad passed in '02? My mom is still living in our house on Iron St. in TorC, Wesley lives on our Farm south of TorC and Candy lives in TorC.
So if you want to leaarn to Scuba Dive, Call.
Hope all of you have had half as good an Adventure as I have, and we're only part way through.
Regards,
Richard "Punk" Potter
