Robert's Story

How do you catch up on 60 years of history in a few words. Then I've never been accused as a man of few words. So here goes: Attended grammar and Jr High in Casper, WY then moved in December 1959 to Aurora and attended 8th and 1/2 of 9th before moving to Arvada, Co. I played football sophomore and junior years but at 130 lbs I was a doormat. I worked at the Federal Theater with good friend Sharon Wertz, from Denver North HS. In the first semester 1963 I had to leave home. Tried to stay in school but working 3 jobs and attending school just about killed me. So I quit school and joined the Navy. I did 8 years then went to the University of Utah on the GI Bill and earned a BS in Business, class of 1975. Rejoined the Navy and was commissioned as an officer. I did another 19 years and retired as a Commander in 1994. I moved to Corpus Christi and owned a retail business for 8 years, sold it and then went into real estate and real estate inspection. I have lived all over California, Virginia, Florida, Utah, Rhode Island and Texas. Have traveled all around th...Expand for more
e world and even now we are continuing to travel to far off places. I feel I am in a race against time to do as much as possible before old age or poor health catches up to me. I have two children and three grand kids and one great granddaughter with another on the way: Chelsea graduated from Texas A&M, Corpus Christi 2017 in mech engineering, Ethan, Graduated in engineering from Ole Miss in 2018 and is a captain in the Army reserves in Texas. My 2 sisters still live in the Aurora area. I get up there once in a while to visit. My wife of 39 years passed away in 2008 due to a very long illness. Later I met and married a really sharp Texas gal. I am retired now and live near Austin, TX and for the life of me I can not identify a snow shovel. I have 3 low maintenance cats who all seem to want to sit or lay on me when ever I sit down. Love these little guys. I remember fondly Saturday nights at Standley Lake and dragging the Scotchman on Federal boulevard. Life is a gift and I try to live each day fully. Would love to hear from former classmates.
