Dennis's Story
I was the classical rebel of all rebeles.Never got to graduate with my class. Went in the Army for 3 years beginning on my 17 th. birthday. Only family then was the Army. One nice person , Joyce Ingersoll , wrote to me those 3 years. A wonderful , kind person. Like the dummy I was I did not continue our friendship when I came home. She deserved better . I am sure she found a good life , she deserves it. I would have graduate class of 59 from Rufus King.
My 8 year old daughter Denise died when she was only 8. Of course my life was devastated ....never got over it.
The time flies ...now we are in the ...Expand for more
twight years. I regret not being a better person. I am grateful for knowing such good people as you all ...the classmate and friends of my past. Thanks!
One notable life experience...I was falsy convicted as a innocent person of a crime I did not do. Auto theft and bugary. Almost 3 years in jail. After 13 years of of trying to prove that I was innocent I finally proved it. On October 8 , 1974 ,. the State of Wisconsin , through the Governor , exonerated me , fully and obsolutely pardon me and restored all my civil rights.. But I had carried the stigma and damage for13 years. Now it is just a memory.
