Robert's Story
Life
My life bio??? Quite a challenge when I consider this in relation to high school 55+ years ago. Remember there were two of us, yes, two Robert Woolleys. I'm Robert M. Anyone who knew me in high school would not recognize me today. I was 5' 6" when I graduated, and hit 5' 10" a bit later. Life has been good to me and I'm proud of my life's accomplishments, not the least of which is a now going on 54 year marriage to the girl next door (AHS Class of '65), two wonderful adult children (my daughter is a probation officer and son an underwriter). I also have two fantastic grandchildren. One of my greatest joys in life was taking them on a coaster wagon ride to neighboring Franklin Park, just like I took my own kids in the same wagon many years earlier. They have grown so fast, so fortunate to have been able to spend so much time with them before they grew up.

rofessionally I've accomplished every goal I have ever gone after. I've owned my own business, made the front page of the Wall Street Journal, traveled extensively, retired young enough at 57 and to enjoy life with all the joys/toys life has to offer. I've always been serious about business, but never too serious to not take time to enjoy family and friends.
All in all, I think the most changed part of my life bio as it relates to high school is with sports. Always the last picked for team sports, that all changed in college and has continued through adult life. The real irony is a sporting accident in 2003 nearly ended my tenure on this planet.
Life is a wonderful journey, take time to enjoy your many gifts! Your most valuable assets are those that are all around you, family, and friends.
Wow....was it that long ago and is that old gray haired guy staring back at me from the mirror really me?
Would enjoy hearing from my fellow classmates.
