Eugene's Story
Life
Just to clarify my high school situation- I lived in Portsmouth, Va and had most of my schooling there. I attended Wilson High for 3 years when my father's job transferred him to DC. We lived in Hyattsville and I attended Northwestern for my senior year. thus I am listed in both schools. My Wilson friends considered me one of theirs. I would be happy to correspond with classmates from either school. I have attended Wilson reunions for a number of years. I attended the University of Maryland graduating in 1958 from the College of Education. I immediately began teaching summer school at Oscar Smith in South Norfolk,Va(now Chesapeake).

hool and remained there until I went to Johns Hopkins.
After I left teaching in 1961 I worked for Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Lab for 2 years. I was programming computers. I moved to Richmond in 1963 and worked for several companies for the next 32 years in the computer area holding various positions. For 27 of those years I worked for Philip Morris. Upon retirement in Dec of 1993 I started substitute teaching and enlarging my photography business. I have now officially retired from all work and photograph only landscapes. Peggy and I will celebrate our 57th wedding anniversary on Nov. 27th.
I should add that since retiring in 1993 I have been substituting and tutoring at Douglas Freeman High School in Henrico County. I would like to communicate with anyone who knows me.
