James Mike's Story
greetings!

After graduation my twin brother John and I went into the military. College was not an option at the time, It's a good thing too. 4 years of seeing the world and meeting many people, really helped me grow up a bit more, I spent a year in Massachusetts learning morse code, 18 months in Viet Nam, also tours in Virginia and Germany.

If you remember me, please say hello
Classmates i'd love to see again are Bill Lunde, Mike Houston, both '64 grads. Fellow soldiers I'd love to talk to again : Richard Dalsbo, Richard Power, Greg Brent
