Terry's Story

Since my days at Mullen, I have served in the USAF, and spent a year in Vietnam. After returning to the "real" world, went to school for heating and air conditioning. Worked in that field for about 3 years. I got an apprenticeship as an electrician. Did new construction and remodel work. I then became sick with sleep apnea, had to quit due to the ability to fall asleep and working in power boxes. I took that opportunity to volulnteer at Adams 12 schools. Started by taking kids out of class, that was determined behind in reading and worked with them one on one. That was so rewarding. I then moved to the middle schools, and saw some of the same kids I worked with before. Helped teachers in the class rooms with English, math and again reading. spent about 3 years doing that work, and moved to a volunteer job of in school suspension office. Watched kids that were suspended for what ever reason from their classes. Got them class work, checked it and watched them all day, sometimes even more than one day at a time. I enjoyed working with the kids so much, I took a paid job driving school buses for Adams 12. There I drove kdis from K through 12 to school and home. Also did field trips for sports, bands, and pumkin patches with the little ones. That job was so great. I talked to the kindergarten teachers, and would do spelling bees, math tests on the way to school each morning. I had the smartest kids in the school. I was doing officating of sports. Football, basketball, baseball and softball for about 6 years during the same time frame. I have opened brand ne...Expand for more
w hotels as a manager in Arizona and was a night manager of the Sheraton hotel in the tech center. I had aortic bypass surgery in 2000 and was told all was good, 5 years later it was infected. When the docs opened me to remove the infected graft, became septic and was in a coma for 2 months, on dialysis and lost a kidney. Have had aortic bypass 4 times now using bigger grafts moving from one side to the other. I lost all the feeling in both legs from knee down. I had nurses teach me how to walk without feeling the ground and as of today not any better. No running, spend a lot of time in my pool in the back yard in Arizona. Now cant officiate, thinking about trying coaching, and now am a cashier for krogers grocery store, in Arizona its Fry's and in Colorado its King Soopers. I have had the death certificate brought out 3 or 4 times but feel blessed that I am still here. Have a total new look on life. Have two kids, one graduates from Metro and is working on being a teacher and is a high school football coach. That is my son Patrick. My daughter is in her 6th week of basic training in the army, and loving it very much. Shooting machine guns and throwing hand grenades. Will be a MP after basic and MP school. So that is me up to the moment. Now am trying to find some classmates from Our Lady of Lourdes. Mullen High and freinds that went to St Francis high, and Cathedral. Would like to hear how their lives have gone and what they are up to this days and just catch up. Would like to add all of you as friends on facebook if you look me to request me as a friend.
