James's Story
After high school I entered the military and while in the military decided to pick up a few college credits.
After retirement from the military I entered the computer field. I was employed by Digital Equipment Corp until the company was acquired by Compaq
computers. I stayed with them until retirement in 2000. After a few months of being retired I found a
part time job with the Cheyenne Police Dept in the
patrol division and I have remained there. The work
is interesting and fast paced. I am now retired from the
Cheyenne PD and doing interesting stuff with ham radio
and computers/
Sadly to say, my wife of 18 years passed away Feb
20th 2008 and I'm still dealing with that grief. I'm not sure that I'll remarry at a later date but at this
point I don't plan any move in that direction. Female
companionship and friendship is a great help but much to early for anymore than that. Well, I say
never say never. ...Expand for more
I remarried July 10, 2010. I met a wonderful widow lady and both of us are
very happy. We made a trip back to Macon in 2010 and after seeing my old neighborhood and places we hung out, almost made me sick. Our house, where I grew up is still standing and looks as if it is being taken care of. Not so for some others in the neighbor hood. Wow, that house is approaching it's 100th anniversary. Time marches on.
By the way, has anyone noticed the remaining members of the class of 1952 through 1958 are getting pretty darn
ancient. I wake up in the morning and thank God for giving me another day. I wish you all good health and God's blessings.
I missed out on the 50th class reunion. After some
searching I found that many of my old friends had
passed on.
I still love my family, extended family, my church and
my God.
I hope to hear from some old classmates and hope
all are enjoying the wonderful "Golden Years".
