Two weeks after graduating I joined the Navy for four years. Spent two years going to technical schools. The other two were aboard a guided missile cruiser (USS Topeka). Got to see a lot of the Far East including Viet Nam.

I married Irene Bennett in 1967 and started working at Pittsburg State University as an electronics technician in closed-circuit television.  I have one daughter (Kristine) and two grandchildren ages 6 and 2 and am a lifelong resident of Girard.  My wife works at Craw-Kan Telephone Co. as a bookkeeper.  My daughter is a nurse at the hospital in Girard.  In 1999 I retired from Pittsburg State University and started managing the golf course in Girard.  I play golf every day, so I don’t consider this job as work.

See you all at the reunion this summer.
