Art's Story
NC Classmates, HI to all. Just wanted to update my profile. My current employment status is retired as of SEP2008. Yes, I finally took off my uniform. I had the previlege of wearing the uniform of the US Army for over 42 years in one status of another. Though I've been called back to continue to serve in civilian status a couple of times. But I'm definitely retired.So, the military shouldn't interfear with future re-unions. Though having just returned from 3 months in Florida with my wife's parents, as they have two places to live on their property, my days here are spent trying to catch up on all the projects that I've put off for many years in some cases. I enjoy working in and around my barn. I restored an old 1955 Allis Chalmers WD-45 this winter in Forida. I'm now begining to build an addition onto the barn. My health has been OK. Just a little heart attack in 2000, all fixed and no damage, taking a few pills every day, taking care of BP, cholosterol and a litttle type II diabetis. My weight is good. So, my philosphy is: wake up, it's agood day; stand up and it's a better day and walk to the bathroom, it's a great day. Think about it...
As for my family, Terrie and I will be married 30 years this year, guess third time was the charm. I had a wonderful time raising Terrie's daughter since she was just eleven months old, so she's just my daughter. Daughters never go away though. She's married but calls old "dad" just about every nite. My...Expand for more
son, who has made me very proud is a surgeon at Spectrum Med Center in Grand Rapids, MI. He's doing what he loves and that is helping people through his surgical skills. He works in the Urology area. He and my daughter-in-law have presented me with 3 wonderful grand kids, a granddaughter, beautiful tall 11 year old ballerina, basketball and soccer player, whose smart a a whip; a great short 8 year old grandson whose a super baseball, soccer and football player, also smart as a whip and last a great little 6 year old grandson, also a baseball and soccer player whose just kickin 1st grade into the ground. I'm very proud of them and love them all equally.
As I'm the oldest of all my siblings, I now represent the current generation, as everyone on both my maternal and paternal sides are gone. Of the 7 of us, we lost my brother # 4 in 2008. Still miss him, but the rest of us try to get together in northern Indiana whenever we can..
I guess this would bring my current life up to date. I'm looking forward to seeing all in 2014. By the way, should any of you that may read this please let whoever maintains the mailing list that my home address has partially changed. The" PO Box" of the address has changed to 2273 N. Letterman Rd, Town and zip are the same. Hope all are well and have been able to realize as many of their dreams as possible. So for this MAR 13, 2012, I say see you all soon.........
