Ray (Wittwer)'s Story
After grade school I attended Schurz H.S. I left High School in my junior/senior year (1958) and enlisted in the Air Force. I completed my High School while in the service. After I got out I took some courses at Wright Jr. college. I guess I really didn't get serious about it until some years later. I went from job to job until I took a job as a service tech, repairing TV's and refrigeration units. I must've of been good at it as I received a offer from one of the manufactures I serviced, to be their factory rep. From there I moved to Iowa, then later lived in Michigan, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Alabama. I became the General manager for the south east division, it was during this time I got serious about furthering my education and took a lot of course in Business Management and computers. I left the company I was with and went with Marriott Facility Management Division setting up departments and programs in Health Care Facility's

I retired on November 21, 2008. My wife and I enjoy traveling these days, especially on cruises. Of course, one of my favorite pastimes is keeping up with the Cubs and the Bears, playing golf when I can! But I really enjoy spending time with my family,especially the grand kids and catching up with old friends. I have/and had the opportunity to visit old friends from grade school as we have now more recently gotten in touch with one another. In fact I saw many friends at the 100 year anniversary of our grade school and at my 50th High School reuion but would love to see and hear from more!.
I tried retirement for three years and since returned to the work force with a diffrent company as the General Manager of Operation for the Southeast. Maybe later I'll try retirement again but for now -----na
I still love our music the orginal Rock and Roll and have numerous albums not only of the 50's -60's but also of the big band era.
Hope to hear from old firends and others, for those of you who don't know my sister Diane/Dee who also went to Beaubien Class of 57) and Schurz (class of 61) passed away in November of 2004.
