SUMMARIZE YOUR CAREER/PERSONAL PATH OVER THE LAST FIFTY YEARS.
Started off with the Marine Corps in 1960. Got out in ''63, attended Porter
School of Engineering in 1971. Graduated 2 years later and landed a job in the
Glass industry as an Architectural Draftsman in 1973. Became a certified Estimator
in 1975 and am still doing Estimating here in Arizona, albeit only 3 or 4 days
per week.
WHICH NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL EVENTS HAVE MOST INFLUENCED/IMPACTED YOU SINCE
HIGH SCHOOL?
While in the Marine Corps, being stationed in the South Pacific I was impacted
by the history of the battles fought on my behalf by Marines gone on before
me. I was actually at some of the battle sights, namely Wake Island, Philippines,
Guam, Okinawa and of course Japan.
WHAT PERSONAL EVENTS IMPACTED YOU THE MOST?
Seeing some of the unexploded bombs, grenades and viewing some of the burned
out caves. Being at the site of Okinawan's and their children who jumped off
the cliffs to their deaths just to get away from the American "devils".
WHAT ARE YOUR GREATEST HOPES AND CONCERNS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS?
That we NEVER forget what our previous generation sacrificed for America and
the world.
One of my concerns is the apathy these young people have today. They just don't
realize how important it is to get involved and pay attention to what is happening
around them.
AT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO IN YOUR FUTURE?
To finally being fully retired and traveling more. Looking into an RV in which
to do it.
WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIAL OR MOST OUTSTANDING MEMORIES
FROM OUR YEARS AT NBHS?
Being in the N B H S band and the football games, the concerts and all of the
special trips we took.
The camaraderie of all of the members of the band.
