Stephen's Story
Life
I now live in Jacksonville, Florida. I am remarried and very happy. I think of Alaska often and the old school days.I enlisted in the Navy in August of 1968 as a Hospital Corpsman. After training in San Diego I was sent to Camp Pendleton and trained as a combat field medicine tech and served 3 years with special forces with the marines. I attended various schools thru my career and retired in 1992 as a Physician Assistant Lt/Usn (MUSTANG).
*In the military MUSTANG means, entered as enlisted and retired as Officer.
Workplace
I am part owner in a Turf and Ornimental Pest Control business. I retired from Medicine in 1998 after 30 years in various specialities. I was in CardioPulmonary Medicine for 17 years and worked mainly in Open Heart Sugery and Cardiac patient care. I had 23 years in the Navy and retired. I have expertise in Forensic Psych, Internal Med, Pulmonary Med and Family Practice.
Recently, I have managed to retire fully. I have become a caregiver for my wife's dad. He is 88 and its a real challange.
Last August I went to Texas to visit my sister and nephew. Did a lot of bass fishing. Then I did a roundabout to N.C. and S.C. to visit family.
Planning to trade my m/c for a Harley Streetglide 1650 and do some charity rides and tours.
Sure would like to get to Alaska and tour the inside and visit old classmates.
I finally retired and have my new Harley Road K...Expand for more
ing. I love it and have been on several charity rides locally. I am planning a trip to Alaska but not sure just when. Life has been very good in retirement and we are really blessed.
My wife Lynda is still working as CFO of a major Septic and Plumbing company (Metro-Rooter) here in town. She loves her job and plans to work a few more years so I travel a lot by myself. She encourages me to go and you can bet I GO. She was born and raised in KEY WEST so we do a few 4 day weekends there to visit her dad.
If any of you get out and are in this area feel free to contact me. I would love to have you visit with us if you have time.
I am really enjoying my retirement and plan to visit for the 50th reunion in 2018. I haven't been able to make a visit to Alaska since Christmas of 1970 and I know there are many different changes that will be a good surprise to me. I hope to stay and tour around for a few weeks. My niece lives in Wasilla and works in Anchorage and i plan to visit with her also.
New update as of Mau 2017.
Life is good! I took a trip to Roosevelt Utah and haf a great visit with my Niece and all her wonderful family. I then toured thru Arizona and New Mexico's historic sites and went thru Texas and back to Jax Florida. Planning to visit Alaska for the 50th class reunion. I stay busy playing golf riding my Harley Davidson and swimming.
Really love my retirement. 😁😎🏍
