Kenneth's Story
Hello,
After leaving BHS in 1966, I attended Alvin Junior College for one year, partied too much, flunked out and got drafted in the Army. They tried to talk me in to Officer Candidate School, but Officers lasted about 2 days in Viet Nam so I turned them down. I ended up in Missle Operations and Intelligence and was assigned to a small Air Force base in Michigan coordinating Army and Air Force air defense for two years. Once my tour was up, I headed back to Clute, Texas.
I spent a few years bumping around jobs and ended up working for Dow Chemical. A short time later I found myself married to Donna Herring. We had two children, Nathan and Rachel. After 7 years, Donna and I split up. I dated around for several months and then met my soul mate, Elaine Perettie, of Burlington, Vermont. She had moved to Texas after a messy divorce. We dated for 6 months and then married and just celebrated our 30th year anniversary! Elaine has two boys from her previous marriage, Jeff and Greg Mason.

on leave of absence from Dow and finished my degree work with a B.S. in Computer Science. After working in Research Engineering a few years, an opportunity opened up for a transfer to Dow's Eastern Division in Strongsville, Ohio (near Cleveland). We lived there for seven years and then the closed the office and I was transferred up to Midland, Michigan. In 2001, Dow outsouced our network services group to EDS. In 2003, EDS lost the contract to IBM and IBM hired me to stay on the Dow accounts. In February of 2008, IBM outsourced the global network services group to AT&T. AT&T retained me to stay on the Dow account and here I am today. I planned to work until at least 62 and maybe longer if the economy doesn't straighten up.
Lainie and I used to sail with her brother up on Lake Michigan until his untimely death (heart attack) in 2002. Now we bicycle, golf, bowl and enjoy our time shares at Hilton Head, Vail Valley, Colorado, and Key West, Florida. Hey, life's too short, enjoy it while you can!
