Robert's Story
Life
After graudating from Case in 1967 I went to work for Trina, Inc unitl Feb 1969 when I joined the USAF. I spent 20 years in the AF, mostly in the Pentagon where I retired in 1989. I then began a new career as a Travel Agent. I currently work for American Express Travel, where I worked in the Washington DC office for more than 10yrs. Currently working virtual for AMEX in Cancun, Mexico. I and my partner travel extensively thoughout the world. I organize and escort a group every year. Five years ago we went to Cambodia, Viet Nam and Thailand. Four years ago we took the group to Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa. Three years ago we traveled all over China and Tibet. Two years ago we did a 16 day cruise of South America. After which we did an add-on to Peru to see Cuzco and Machu Pichu. This year we did a 3-week tour of Egypt and Morocco. I love to travel. Next year plannig on taking my group back to Kenya, Botswana, and South Africa.
My partner and I moved to Cancun in Jan of 2005. Finally moved into our beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo right on the Caribbean after renovations from the hurricane. Would love getting together with some of you classmates from class of '67.
Come down to Cancun and visit!
