Steve's Story
TO ALL,
I WILL START AT THE END BY SAYING
AT AGE 60(FEB 18th, 1948) I'M STILL A KID AT HEART AS I WAS AT AGE 6. WHAT HAPPENS IN BETWEEN THOSE YEARS IS THE MEAT OF ONE'S LIFE.
THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT THING I REMEMBER ABOUT BEING A KID OF ABOUT 6 IS MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AT OVERLOOK ELEMENTARY . THE BUILDING IS STILL THERE AS IS THE SMALL GRASSY FIELD TO GET TO SCHOOL. THE BASKETBALL COURT WAS STILL THERE AS BEATEN UP AS IT WAS 50 YEARS AGO. I REMEMBER MY THIRD GRADE TEACHER, MRS. KINESE BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONE WHO DOLED OUT THE FLUTOPHONES. MY FAMILY MOVED A FEW TIMES TO DIFFERENT AREAS AROUND DAYTON, BUT WE LANDED BACK IN OVERLOOK WHERE I WENT THE FOUR YEARS AT STEBBINS, GRADUATING IN '66
1966 WAS NOT A GOOD YEAR TO BE18 YEARS OLD IF YOU ARE MALE. MY FATHER WANTED ME TO APPLY FOR WORK AT NCR, BUT I HAD PLANS TO SEEK SHELTER FROM THE DRAFT BY GOING TO WRIGHT STATE. I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE, BUT I DID AND IT DID KEEP ME OUT OF SERVICE(HA HA). SO I GOT A COUPLE OF STUDENT LOANS AND WORKED ABOUT 20 hrs A WEEK AND STAYED AT HOME. B...Expand for more
Y GOSH, IF I DIDN'T COME AWAY FROM THERE WITH A B.S. IN CHEMISTRY. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW? WHY GET A JOB , OF COURSE AND MOVE OUT. I WORKED A YEAR AT K & S CIRCUITS IN PHILLIPSBURG,A YEAR AT WRIGHT PATT IN A TEST LAB. THEN THE BIG OFFER CAME, THE ONE A LOT OF GUYS DREAM OF - THE OFFER FROM GENERAL MOTORS FRIGIDAIRE DIVISION FOR OVER 10,000 PER YEAR. I REMEMBER, AFTER GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE, I SAID TO MYSELF "IF I COULD MAKE OVER 10 GRAND A YEAR I WOULD BE ON EASY STREET" WELL IT WAS OVER 10 GRAND, BUT I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE EASY STREET PART. I WORKED FULL TIME AND WENT TO U OF DAYTON NIGHT CLASSES ,73 TO '78 WITH AN M.S. IN MATERIALS SCIENCE. AT AGE THIRTY
I WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD. A SINGLE,WELL EDUCATED GOOD LOOKING GUY(WELL, CLEAN AT LEAST)WITH MONEY. I FINALLY FOUND A MATE AND AFTER 8 YEARS OF DATING, WE MARRIED IN 1987, MOVED TO ENON, HAD NO KIDS. BUT ,
UNFORTUNATELY I DEVELOPED PARKINSONS DISEASE SO I RETIRED FROM DELPHI IN VANDALIA IN 2004. WE STILL LIVE IN ENON AND ARE DOING OK(MY WIFE IS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASSISTANT).
