Mike's Story
Hi Flat River gang ! It's been a long time since I've seen most of you - probably since HS graduation in 1975 - wow.
Shortly after graduation, I left home for the US Army. I served 2 years in Fairbanks, AK at Ft Wainwright. 1975-1977. I was in the 4th BN, 9th Inf - MANCHUS. My job was 11 - Bravo [ which, for you civilians, an infantry " grunt" ].
After 2 years of freezing my ass off, Uncle Sam sent me to Ft Hood Texas - boy, was it nice to be warm again! I served there from 1977 - 1979 [ with a short 4 month stint served in Germany Jan - May 1979 - cold again!]
Honorably discharged on Friday the 13th, July 1979 - my lucky day !!
Went back to Flat River for a few months to visit with my folks and my friends. While I was home, I applied to Penn State and was accepted. YAY ! On the road again.
I moved to ...Expand for more
Pennsylvania in January 1980 and started my college career. I graduated in May 1985 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering.
After working for others for 22 years, I started my own Engineering and Mechanical Contracting business in 2007. The business is doing well and I am enjoying the independence [ I'm a hell of a good guy to work for! LOL ].
My wife and I live on 21 acres just outside the city limits of Clarksville, TN. We were married on August 11 1984.. We have 5 children - 3 girls and 2 boys.. All have left the nest except 1. And, she just graduated early from HS in March 2013 so she will be heading to UT-Knoxville in the Fall of 2013.
Let me know when the next reunion for the Class of '75 is going to be held. I have never attended any and I'd like to see y'all again.
Best wishes to all.
