Wesley's Story

Life Moved back to Chicago in '03 and went back to work for the Post Office. California was nice but I missed the changing of the seasons (real reason; could not find a real job after graduating from DeVry of Long Beach). Something you would not belive about me, I have ten children, 3 girls and 7 boys. All grown and on their own except one and he is 12. They are spread out accross the country, MO, NC, CA, IL, and I even have one in the Phillipines. I play a good game of chess and you may find me sitting at the poker table playing Taxas Hold'em (a game I pick up while in CA). I work with a few guys you may remember, Lawrence Sims, Ivan Taylor, James Bell and Mack Howard. I reconnected with Herman Moore about a year ago, he now lives in Washington (state). Had been 35 years, he had had a stroke so his memory of the 'House and me were a little foggy. I joined the Marine Corps six months after I got out of school and it had a big influance on my life as I re-upped once and stayed for 6 1/2 years. What I enjoyed most was the travel and getting to see other countries. It helped me forfill part of my life's journey of seeing all 50 states, as I have visited the two hardest ...Expand for more
one to get to, Alaska and Hawaii. Beleive it or not, I only have 12 more to go. I have not yet been to Europe, something to look forward to in my retirement. I live on the southside; hard to beleive for a parental westsider like myself. I am a member of the group "Fat American" as I have gained about 150 pounds since I got out of high school, (I can't help it if I am a good cook). Gas prices are going to cause me to lose it because I am going to have to take my bicycle out of the moth balls. Enough about me, let me hear from you about you at wesley.d.averhart(at symbol)usps.gov. Military Did bootcamp at MCRD San Diego, "A" school in Memphis and 1st duty station Andrews AFB. Re-upped At Andrews and went to Japan. Came back to the state and went to Cherry Point, NC. Went on a 6 deployment back to Japan and the USS Midway. During my tour overseas I visited the Phillipines, Tipai Tiwan, and Korea. I spent one night on Okinowa and that was enough, but I did enjoy spending time in Heroshima, Tokyo. I joined the service to travel and I did a lot of it. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it in a heart beat. Made some good freinds and had some great times.
