Clinton's Story
If you know me from 1971 or earlier, you knew me as Raymond (Ray) Soza. I changed my name in 1972 to Clinton Banner when I started High School in Globe. No, I didn't graduate with the class of 75- I dropped out and got my GED (through the State of Arizona Mature Student's program) during my senior year and went off to school at DeVry in Phoenix in 1975. I went to DeVry and majored in Electronics Engineering. I transferred to ASU, and in 1977 I dropped out and joined the Army.

e Army in 1997 as a Chief Warrant Officer. After the Army I worked in technology. I retired in 2020 from Cisco.
I have a beautiful wife (Christine) that I met and married in Europe (in Belgium), and two kids, Elaine and James.
Much travel, to include: Germany, Singapore, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy, France, England, Spain, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Croatia, FYROM (Former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia) Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Sudan, Somalia, and Singapore. I might have forgot one or two.
I hope that all of you are well, and wish you all health and happiness. P.S. Beat Miami!!
