Michael's Story
After graduating from Baker Univ. with BS in Chemistry and Math with minor in Biology I went to Grad. School at K.U. After that I joined the Navy in 1973 and found my place there. Was a corpsman, laboratory technologist and teacher for 6+ years, then Laboratory and Blood Bank officer in Medical Service Corps until I retired in 1996. When I retired from Navy, I truly RETIRED!! Lived in 29 Palms, Ca until early 2005 when I moved here to Texas hill country where life is slow and prices low.
In Navy at different times I lived / was temporarily assigned to such places as San Diego (over 15 years), Oceanside, CA, 29 Palms CA (3yr), Guam (3 yr), Bethesda, Md / Washington DC (2 yr), Fort Sam Houston, TX, Portsmouth, Va, Oakland, CA, Fort Gordon, GA, Fort Sill, OK, Philippines, Korea, South China Sea, Persian Gulf. I also got to visit such places as Thailand, Australia, Japan, Okinawa, China, Taiwan, various other Pacific Islands and a few other places I have probably forgotten or have tried to forget.
I taught in the Navy's Medical Laboratory Technician School, Physician Assistant Program and Independent Duty school for several years and occasionally in the Tri-Service field medicine orientation course for doctors, nurses & d...Expand for more
entists in the on 3 of my duty tours and was the director of Advanced Technical Schools there for 6 months. Mostly i got sent here and there to "put out fires" (or sometimes be thrown into one). Also I got fairly heavily involved with early Medical computer systems of the Navy, Air Force & Army. They knew it was not good idea to send a rough country farm boy to deal with too many "important" persons or to high visibility places. All in all I LOVED it!!
I was married for 12 years between 1978 and 1991.
That is about it for me. The only people I have seen since going into Navy from Madison have been Mike Prichard, Rick Bishop (once), Robin Bean, Patricia Ott once when in Bethesda, and few email contacts with Robin, Sherry (Harrington) Dewitt, Warren Feerer, Bob Greenwood, Shirley (Smith) Talkington, Richard (Dick) Mitchell and Sharon Owens. II did try a couple of times to get in contact with Shirley (Matile) Ogletree as she is a professor at Texas State Univ few miles south of me.
That's about it for me. I just decided to put stuff in here so the Class of 68 would have most with info and it seems to look like either #1 or #2 in number of people signed into this site even though many of us are scattered to the 4 winds.
