Got married to wife #1 (1982) and received orders to report to Fort Bragg, NC. (jumped out of perfectly good airplanes 48 times, with a parachute of course.
Had a daughter in 1983 (Rachael)
Deployed all around the world
Had another daughter in 1987(Sarah)
Deployed to Panama in 1988 (10 year reunion)
Got divorced from wife #1 (1990)
Hooked up with Carla again (1991)
Married Carla in late 1991
Reassigned to Germany (1992-1994)
Voted for Clinton twice (stupid me)
Had another daughter in 1992 (Bobbie)
Continued to deploy all over the world
Stationed at Fort Carson, CO (1998 twenty year reunion)
Divorced Carla (not without regret) and voted for Bush twice. (the verdict still out on that choice, but it was better than the alternative). (2000)
Retired from the Army (2001)
Got a job as a JROTC Instructor (2001)
Bought my first house (2001) in Weslaco, TX (deep South Texas, near...Expand for more
the border with Mexico, just north west of Brownsville.
Remarried in 2005 to my current wife
Thought very seriously about going to the 30 year reunion in 2008, but something came up. (was it in 2008 or 2007?). Didn't we double up with Class of 1977?
Did not vote for Obama in 2008
Wondering where the hell this country is headed in 2009
Plan to vote for anyone but Obama in 2012
Tha about sums it up
In addition, I have not seen any of my classmates since high school (Carla being the exception)
I will be in the area in June 2010 to see my daughter Bobbie graduate from Sabrato H.S..
I always wanted to be a soldier when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a dumb idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
Strumming my guitar is the best way for me to blow off steam.
Update: I bought a HD Roadking and an Indian Roadmaster, joined a Law Enforcement MC. Retired from teaching in February 2021, worked part-time with Homeland Security. Enjoying my retirement.
