Jon's Story
Life
After High School, I went to work for Uncle Sam, USN, 12 Years. Two years learning Nuclear Theory and all of the stuff M.I.T. would teach along with it. The next ten applying that and other knowledge picked up along the way. Was there when the Helos were launched to rescue hostages in Iran, was there for filming 'Final Countdown'& 'Top Gun', was there when (2) SU-22 Lybian aircraft were shot down. Have seen quite a bit of the Earth, mostly deep blue water. My favorite places were Athens, Israel, Egypt, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong. Married the first time, 14+ years, widowed (Cancer), three beautiful girls, the youngest will graduate in '06. Worked on cars for 13 years, finally finished everything and became Ford Master Technician. Married the second time in '01, completed the divorce, and didn't even get kissed by either lawyer or the judge, when it was all finished. Married to a wonderful woman, now, Clare (nee') Washburn and all is great! Now working as General Foreman at a Coke plant Powerhouse.

ted, maybe, just maybe, there must be some of the hard life lessons learned, to appreciate what(who) you're with.... Philosophy, what a concept....
School
Where are all of the '(R)etarded (L)ittle (C)hildren?' Hated to hear about Leslie Helton. I know that a lot can happen in 27 years, it has with me. Where's every one else?
OK, I've located two more, someone out there needs to get on the stick, and let's see if everyone can be located. I thought that I was the only one that disappeared, but, of course, not being 'in touch' could account for some of it. I was pretty much the shy one way back then, you can't make me believe that I'm the only one that thinks it may be 'kinda nice' to get as many together, before the 30 year thing, if there's even going to be one....
Workplace
Spent 12 Years traveling the world, at Uncle Sam's expense, learned a few things, saw a multitude of history, Biblical and otherwise, spent 13years working on cars at the expense of comfort, now am finally doing something that almost pays enough. Of course, I wouldn't turn down a better offer....
Military
