John's Story
After being "removed" from CUHS just before graduation, I joined the Marine Corps, where I spent 8 yrs as a Jet Aircraft Mechanic. Soon after leaving, I joined the Air Force Reserves, again on Jets and spent a few years there.

Life has been Good. I have been married to the same lovely woman for 49 years and I have 3 children (2 Girls and 1 Boy), who have blessed me with 8 Grandchildren, with Number 9 due in August.
