Russell's Story
After High school drafted in army !
spent about 6 years in army with a tour in Viet Nam 1972 also 3 years in Germany which i enjoyed! Spent 18 years in Texas. Divorced with one son who goes to college in Texas moved to St Louis area in 1998 went back into the grocery business which i did when i was young! Living day to day looking forward to what is left in life damn i am old lol.
I saw stories today about Gino Adams who was with the class of 67 who died in the Marshall football team plane and how sad it was! Also sitting in class and hearing about a old friend Rick Mehl
