Mark's Story
Life
I left for Air Force basic training on 9 Jul 1981, graduated the end of Aug and went on to Lowry Air Force Base in Denver for technical school training to become a contracting specialist. Starting on Columbus Day Weekend 1981 I was stationed at Holloman Air Force Base, NM until Sep 1983. I've been living in Germany since being stationed at Kaiserslautern in Oct 1983. After leaving the military in 1990 I've held various logistics jobs in Germany and Belgium at companies like Corning, Nike (Nike European Distribution Center in Laakdal, Belgium), Danzas, and Kuehne & Nagel. I relocated back to Kaiserslautern in Mar 2005 and am currently working for Westar who is an Army contractor as a data monitor at the Army's Theater Logistics Support...Expand for more
Command-Europe in Kaiserslautern. I got married in in 1995 and have 2 kids, Kevin and Anna who were both born in Belgium. I've gotten together with Dale Shelinbarger (HPHS Class of '82) who's in the Navy and used to be stationed at Wilhelmshaven, Germany and we've conducted our own "HPHS Overseas Alumni" meetings. Things took a step closer to becoming full circle in fall 2006 when I started playing trumpet again in a local orchestra. Everything still worked after a 25 year "break" and I remembered more about music than I thought I would. I can't imagine life without it now and give myself the occasional kick in the backside for having waited so long to start again. Anyway, holler anytime anyone else is in country and wants to get together!
