Dan's Story

To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (Seems as good a way as any to start a biography) in Romulus, Michigan on twenty-nine January nineteen-hundred and forty-three (a Friday). I don’t remember much about the next five years but beginning with my first day of Kindergarten the memories come strong and clear. Mostly I remember it was more fun to play than to pay attention to the teacher. Maybe that is why they asked me to repeat the first grade. Anyway, by the second grade many of my BHS class of 1961 classmates were already my friends. The next ten years was the best decade of my life. I only wish I had realized it at the time. You all, my classmates and friends, filled those years with happy memories that entertain me and brighten my outlook on life when I call them to mind. The next fifty years have been pretty busy. Here’s how I’ve filled my time since graduation: 1961 – Joined the Navy, Attended Fire Control Technician School in Great Lakes, Illinois. 1962 – Married Jeanne Switzer from Belleville, Attended Submarine School in New London, Connecticut, Became the proud father of Deanna Kaye Arquette (who is now a practicing Medical Doctor in California). 1963 and 64 served on board the submarines USS Caiman (SS-323) and the USS Rasher ...Expand for more
(AGSS-269). 1964 to 1971 Attended Advanced Weapons Systems school, served four years on the nuclear submarine USS Flasher (SSN- 613) and taught technical school in Groton, Connecticut for three years. Also during this period Jeanne and I divorced. In 1971 I was promoted to Warrant Officer and spent the next ten years, until my retirement, on a surface ship (USS Richard E. Byrd DDG-23) and various shore duty assignments (Grand Turk Island, Annapolis, and Washington D.C.). I retired as a Chief Warrant Officer in August of 1981. From 1981 to present - I Married Panee (30th anniversary next May), Graduated from Strayer University with a BS in Communications Information Systems, and worked for the following companies in the following places. Companies: Institute of Modern Procedures, Sperry-Univac, Northrop, TRW, Litton (Saudi Arabia Ltd.), RS Data Systems, MyTech, Holmes and Narver, and Harris Corporation. Locations: Virginia, Georgia, California, Utah, Colorado, Morocco, England, Israel, Thailand, The Philippines, Xanthi, Greece and Rhodes, Greece. In 1998 Panee and I retired to our present home in Nontaburi, Thailand. It’s been a great life and still is. We have three grown children and five grandchildren in Thailand plus one son and two more grandchildren living in Springfield. Virginia.
