Gregory's Story
Actual Graduation:
1974 from Mont Pleasant, not Draper and not 1975.
You will recall I graduated almost a year early by attending summer school at Mont Pleasant High (now Schenectady H.S.). I went into the Marines in December 1974 after touring the U.S. The Marines had me in Parris Island, SC, Oceanside, CA, Okinawa, Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan.
While at Draper I was involved in the Audio Video Club, lifted a few weights, got in a few fights, and dated some girls, mostly from other schools (I miss "The Rafters" and Allen's Beef & Brew). I spent a lot of time camping and having other fun with the Boy Scouts of Troop 10, which met at the old gym.
I wasn't studious at Draper and never thought I would end up in college. I thought college was only for kids with money. I got interested in law while serving as a military ...Expand for more
courts-martial reporter in Japan. After the Marines I returned to Old Dorpe and went to HVCC, FMCC and then Union. I then went to Western State University College of Law in Orange County, California (JD) and UConn in Hartford, Connecticut(LL.M).
Since leaving Schenectady I've lived in more states than I care to remember, including California, Ohio, Texas, Michigan and now Massachusetts.
I still stay in contact with my Draper friends from Scouts, including Mike King (Rochester, NY) and Tim Hallenbeck (Westfield, MA). I married a California girl (Sherry LaVallee) and we both work for insurance companies in Worcester, MA. We get back to Old Dorpe every now and then, either for a Union College Homecoming or Re-Union, or to just hang out at my sister's house in Mont Pleasant or her camp in Sacandaga.
