Stan's Story

. After cutting classes and generally ignoring studies during Highschool , I was lucky enough to get accepted at Devry institute . I completed the 18 month technical certificate ( note this was not a degree study) and went to work while the military industrial complex wound down . I have been steadily employed with only one week of unemployment since 1975 . I worked for Teletype corporation, and Northern Telecom as a repair technician and then I specialized in two way radio communications . Acquiring both an Extra class amateur radio license and a Federal Communications Commission General Radio operators License . Work experience included 26 years the C.T.A as a Radio maintenance specialist and then a foreman . retired since 2016. I married My Highschool sweetheart , Celia and We have a daughter .

My hobby activities are amateur radio and strangely enough for a retiring Hippy , trap shotgun . .Other activities are hands on home remodeling ,working on my wife's antique VW Karman Ghia ( remember those?) some world travel , primarily b...Expand for more
ack to my ancestral homeland of Poland . If you remember me at all from High school I'm sorry but Damn ! ya didn't smoke enuf .. The crowd I hung around with had a very high percentage of drop-outs and some finished off ETHS A year or so later than my graduating class .At one point a lot of them boarded a painted school bus to tour the U.S ,commune style , " the summer they all disappeared" . Among My friends back then Were Bill Schmidt , and Mark Sultzman , may they both rest in peace. . both having lived for quite sometime after our school years . Other Notables would be Garen Stenstrom , Kim Malmquist, Laura Batsel( Dicus) , Wayne Smith , Mark Summers , Elizabeth Reifler ( R.I.P as of September 2021) .. . We had a lot of fun back then driving around in my black 67 beetle . So a special Shout " Far-Out " from a fellow who lived on the fringes of Our High School experience . one thing for sure , No -one could get away today with the things some of us got away with back then .. and Just Maybe its a better world for that .. . Best Regards .
