John's Story
Well first I don't want to confuse any class of 67 graduates, but I did not actually graduate with your class. I did begin my sophomore year with your class and pretty much floundered until I finally dropped out and joined the Marine Corps in the summer of 1966. I spent fall of 1967 and most of 1968 serving in Vietnam. Anyone who remembers me is more than welcome to contact me. I'm semi retired now having worked for the Mid America All Indian Center the majority of my career. After my military service I married my wife Pam (Page)who is a 1970 North grad. We have three grown children all of whom are North grads; Mark-1989, Marcia-1994, and Michelle-2001. As for myself I completed my high school education in California at...Expand for more
tending 29 Palms High school. I did return to school in Wichita later and graduated from Central Business College, and earned a BA and MA from WSU. Pam and I have lived in Wichita for the majority of our almost 39 years of marriage. In the late 70's we owned and operated Juanito's Mexican Carryout. In the 80's I began working for the Mid Amer. All Indian Ctr and was there until 1998. Five grand children later, Pam and I spend most of our time trying to keep up with them. The picture if you're wondering was taken a few years ago when I was playing in The Neons. The band broke up last year after a fifteen year run. Not bad for a bunch of old Rock n Rollers. Well, as they say, that's my story and I'm sticking to it...for now.
