John's Story
My story will be a brief one. Right after high school I work during the summer, I did go an take some college courses at night. I did this for few years until March of 73 when i went on to work for the City of Highland Park. I first started off in Parks & Blvds., then went to the water dept. into maintance for couple years until I transfer to the Pump station.
I work for 19 years for the city until 92 when I moved to the UP with my three kids. I started woking for the casino then in June an have been here for 21 years working in surveillance.
Also durin the time I was married for 16 years and then divorce.
In 04 I met this wonderful woman and we were married in 06.
I would say that in my life nothing would be change it has its ups and downs, but I just keep going forward an enjoy it.
Just an add on here. On the weekend of June 12-15 2009 was able to attend HPHS Class of 69 reunion. Had an enjoyable time and was nice to see so many from the class
Well on September 6, 2013 I retired from Ojibwa Ca...Expand for more
sino after 21 years. Now I began a new chapter in my life.
In December of 2013 made a trip over to Italy and England for the holiday. We visit my son who is station in Italy (Air Force) and my wife daughter who lives in England. The kids know how to treat their parents. While in Italy we took in Venice and visit a few wineries and enjoyed some good Italy pizza. I England we took in London for the day and visit the Tower and Westminster. Would need another visit of London to take in more. Also on our trip we went to Munich for the day with a tour group, a beautiful city. When we came back to the states an landing in Chicago the winter vortex was in progress. Stayed in the airport that night. Then next morning rented a car to get home.
Wow its been 9 years since I added anything. First off still kicking at 71. Being retired has been good. Have done some traveling over the years. Made a return trip to England this past summer an had two great weeks and did a lot of walking during our time there.
