This profile is a bit misleading. I attended Snider, under my real name, Thomas Fitzwater. I didn't know that my name had been changed till the army ran a background check on me and found that I had been adopted by my step-dad. My mom later told me that he did it to get more money on his navy pension. I didn't live with them as I was removed and sent to the Ft. Wayne Children's Home. I also lived in 2 foster homes up there so I moved around a lot, attended several schools, and finished at Lane, then Snider.
I got on here to see if I remembered any...Expand for more
one, but I'm not having much luck. I was going to attend the reunion in 91. I had just returned from Panama and took some leave. But, as luck would have it, that nut-job in Iraq invaded Kuwait, and I got another invitation to visit yet another country.
I was on one of the teams that was inserted deep into Iraq to hunt for Scud launchers and call in airstrikes to take them out. One day things didn't go very well. I woke-up almost 4 weeks later at Landsthul with a cracked skull and recovering from a concussion. Doc's said that I would have some memory problems and some loss of memory, That was a bit of an understatement.
I got on here hoping to remember more from my school years, without much luck. So if you remember me, and I don't remember you. I'm sorry.
