Mark's Story
Would love to know what happened to the story line that I typed in here over 10 years ago!!!! Also noticed that my timeline was missing too. It seems that every time they upgrade the site they lose info on people, dang programers.. I had better look out if my son sees that comment, because that is what he does.
After I got out of Trade I went right in the US Marine Corps and saw a lot of the world, including the worst 3 countries out there. While in Nam I was shot + stepped on a land mine, to make matters worse the later happened on a pay day + it took them over 6 months to straighten it out. was flown home on a med-evac C131. Once out of the Hospital I still worked for the Gov't + went to work for Digital Equipment Corp.. Was put in charge of the ship/rec docks in the home office. Had fun watching out for any "problems" and all my docks under budget every year. Passed on becoming a manager numerous times, because I liked being a supervisor so I could stay on the docks and not in some dang cubicle. Worked there till I was transitioned out of the company in 95 or 96. Or in the terms of the real working man, I was laid off.
Had gotten married back in 1969 and ...Expand for more
the wife gave birth to my son on July-12-1972. After he got out of college and was planning on getting married is when I found out that my marriage had a major problem and got a divorce. Oh well life has its ups and downs and I turned this from a down trend to an up one by starting my own companies. Had 3 going at once and was doing fantastic, in fact I could not hire carpenters fast enough. Sold them all off in the fall of 99, I was lucky that I sold them on an up swing in the housing market. Not to long after the market for homes bottomed out, as we all know..
Well after selling them I moved back to Westfield to the old homestead and retired. Started fishing for Bass all over the country in competitions, in both BASS + FLW. Once I had made it into the semi-finals of both clubs I decided to get out of them do to all the politics.
Now I am doing what I want when I want. Spoiling my grandkids the most fun( all 3 of them), Helping out a friend that is a local farmer doing everything from haying to making maple syrup to sitting in the ski lodge drinking coffee..
Well enough for now, if you want to know anymore just ask..
THNX,
Mark
