First marriage--Daughter--51, also a son age 48. I have 5 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren.
Ilene and I marred in 1986. She is the one who keeps me going and is always there during my follies. I have cut back on my daredevil deeds. I will soon be 70 yrs young.
My life seems to be in four segments ---
#1 My childhood, Neal Lipsey, my uncle, RHS, class of 51, and I lived in Florida for many yrs, near the swamps, that was our playground. I must say the best school year was the year at RHS.
#2 At age 17 I joined the Military, retired after 22 yrs.---Here are some of the
duty stations I was located in are in the area--Japan, Okinawa,Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Guam, Iwo Jimo, Kwajalein, Eniwetok, Azores, Spain, Casablanca, Morocco, And the Congo.
#3 I finished college in 1975, right after I retired from the USAF. I completed the six months to get my degree at Culver-Stockton college In Mo. I went to work the state of Colorado as adult Probation Officer. Retired again after 20 yrs.
# 4 I have many stories regarding my childhood, my life in the USAF and as An Adult Probation for the state of Colorado. I have completed the first draft of my childhood.
I wish to thank all of you who had a hand in putting this roundup on. Also I want to thank all of my classmates at RHS for the memories, the caring and friendship.
Class of 1955, however my class trip was to Korea.
