Thomas's Story
Will it has been a long time since graduation and I do miss seeing and chating with all who knew me and the things we enjoyed . As you might remember i was heavy into machine shop and working for Max Ploog during school.I worked for Max after graduation until I got cast iron infection and the best choice was to leave and find something else to do in life.
Will I went to work at the 7UP bottling plant in Merriville and started working on vending machines for them. Then went to work in the steel mills working on vending machines for interstate united. Started traveling all over Indiana and Illinioswith them and having fun doing it. tryed to settle down a little and went to work for a Chicago company on vending machines and started traveling again this time all across the States got tired on living out of a suitcase, I was Married and have 3 great kids that i missed and desided to quit traveling and stay at home.Yes you are right that did not last long and we desided to move in 1986 to Iowa. Where you quessed it I started traveling again across ...Expand for more
the entire United States with vending machines. Will enough is enough so I now work for the United States Postal Service working in Iowa only.
I do miss sometimes not going into teaching as Mr Kyes wanted me too but I do not regret the choices I made.The best part of it all is I am just about to retire and can hardly wait for the day, scary as it might seem right know.
We have a little place to retire too and I love to fish hunt and enjoy the outdoors.
Oh yes do not forget my kids 3 great daughters and 3 super grand kids who my wife Kena and i both enjoy very much. It has been fun watching them all grow and how each one is making there own way through life. I only wish I would had been around more to enjoy them as they grew into adulthood. Oh will next time around.
My wife Kena her real name is Collina Shadowen,you might remember Mike shadowen from our class is her brother. She is a great mom and grandmother and the best partner I could have hope for, love her for ever and back.
Hope to hear from some of you guys and see how you are doing.
