ronald's Story
Greetings to all of my classmates from Woodward H.S. class of 1967.It has a long time coming and a long time gone.Those of you who remember me and to those of you who don't I wish you all well,and I have missed you all very much. After all of these years I have yet to run into any of my classmate from Woodward H.S. Within one month of our June 1967 graduation I enlisted in the US Air Force.After basic training I was stationed at Edward AFB, Ca. The summer of love was still going on when I got there. I was trained as a Security Policeman.At that time all of my fellow Security Policeman were being shipped out to southeast Asia, Vietnam, Thailand, but I got an assignment going to Europe. I was assigned to a small air base in Spain (Zaragoza) until Oct 1974. I got married in Spain and came back to Toledo in Oct 1974 for the first time in six years with my wife and two daughters. I remained in the US Air Force for 23 years and retired in Sept 1990. While in the Air Force I was asigned in Europe a total of 18 years. I also had two stateside assignments ( Bregstrom AFB, TX and England AFB LA. I was assigned to
Spain two more times for a total ...Expand for more
of 17 years in Spain.I have been all over Europe from Denmark , England, Germany, France, and Africa . I was in Cairo, egypt for 60 days in 1982. During that whole time I think I met two or three people from Toledo and no one from Woodward HS.I have two year books 1966 and 1967 I look at the pictures and see the faces of my classmates and the memories come back. I lived on Buckeye St two blocks down from Manhattan Ave from 1962-1967.I went to Hamilton for 7th amd 8th grade.In the summer of 1965 I got a job at the Holiday Inn on Manhattan Ave washing dishes. I worked there during the summer and after school until graduation and was able to make enough money to buy that gold 1958 Chevy that some of you saw me drive to school in my junior and senior year. I now live in Magnolia, De with my wife of 41 years. We have three daughters and one son and 5 grandchildren. I am still working in the law enforcement criminal justice field as Security Supervisor Court of Common Pleas State of Delaware. I hope our class will have a class reunion I missed the other reunions but I will attend the next one.Any of you can E-mail me anytime and I will answer
