After graduation, I attended college for three years, got married, then dropped out. I bummed around for a couple of years, got divorced, then got back on track by joining the Army. I spent a couple of years as a Green Beret, spending a lot of time in Africa. Then I went to Officer Candidate School and became an Engineer Officer. The Army sent me back to school to finish my Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics. I've since earned two masters Degrees in Applied Mathematics and Acquisition.
I've spent 24 years in the Army and am currently stationed in Korea. I'll return to Kansas City to be the Deputy Commander of the KC District Corps of Engineers in July. I remarried nine years ago to Barbara Axton who was a Chrisman High Cheerleader. I have a son James, who's 27; a daughter, Mary who's 22, and a grand daughter who'll turn two in August.
I'm really looking forward to the reunion! |
