Gerald's Story
I was scheduled to graduate from Connetquot High School in June 1979, but my Dad was able to retire and was lucky enough to get what he wanted for his house and sold it,so my family and I moved to Brandon, Florida in November 1978. I graduated there. I started school at Arthur E. Premm Elementary School in Oakdale, NY, went there for kindergarten and first grade, then Idle Hour Elementary School opened and I was moved there. Went there, then on to Oakdale-Bohemia Junior High, then on to Connetquot. After being out of high school for about four years I joined the United States Air Force to become a crash/rescue firefighter. I did all that stuff for 22 years, then retired as a Master Sergeant in 2004 after being deployed to Southwest Asia too many times for Operation Southern Watch, Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
