David's Story
Here's the short version, with apologies to Mr. Pinchera (10th grade Lit teacher) for not using complete sentences:
- Currently living in Milwaukee, WI -- here's how I got here.......
- After EGHS, went to UF, and graduated in '78 -- Go Gators!
- After college, bummed around in Detroit, Michigan for a while, as my parents had moved there due to my Dad's job change
- Met Nancy, and we were married in '79
- Joined the Air Force as an officer -- 18 great years in Columbus, MS; Spokane, WA; Clifton, NJ; O'Fallon, IL; the Azores; San Antonio, TX; and Pensacola, FL.
- Three wonderful children, and one cool son-in-law: Lindsey (1978) and her husband Brice, Steve (1980), and Dan (1982); Lindsey and Brice also live in Milwaukee, while the boys stayed in Pensacola [Editor's note: no grand kids yet].
- Retired early from Air Force in '97, stayed in Pensacola and worked for Florida Dept of Juvenile Justice until 2003
- Migrated to Milwaukee in '03 (man, it's cold up here) -- I'm frequently asked why a sane pers...Expand for more
on would move from sunny Florida to frigid Wisconsin.....damn good question?
- Found a job at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Would you believe I teach nuclear physics? How about Distinguished Professor of Macro Economics? OK, low-level bureaucrat handling grants and contracts.
- Despite 27 years with many good memories, first marriage ended amicably a couple of years ago
- Met sweet, wonderful Midwestern gal, Terri. We've been together for a while now and were married in Jan, 2009, in Melbourne Beach -- yippee! (She has a sister in Palm Bay).
- Alas, we did not win the Powerball and had to come back to Milwaukee after the wedding
- My hobby is running (you may recall I was a thoroughly mediocre cross country and track guy at EGHS), competing in local races, and manage to occasionally beat a few octogenarians.
- Maybe I'll fill in the gaps with more interesting and entertaining details later
- In the meantime, I would enjoy re-connecting with friends and EGHS classmates, so please check in.
