After ten years in the Air Force and another ten in Germany, I returned to the US and lived in New Hampshire working for Digital Equipment Corporation. In 1999 I moved back to the DC area with Hewlett-Packard as a technical consultant for Federal agencies. I married in 2002 and lived in NW Washington DC.
I retired from Hewlett-Packard in 2012 and moved to Myrtle Beach SC. Now I have time.

All those hours in Mr. Brescia's band, hopping around the football field, irritating Mr. Bruneau (sorry!), sparring with Ms. Mayhew over meaningless English topics, my '56 Plymouth Savoy.
Playing in a dance band, Group IIX, along with Richard Donn '66, Chuck Chaillet, Eric Wurzbacher, Steve Kolbylk... who else?

Family:
My three siblings, Roger, Kathy and Gregory, all graduated from CHS as well, in 1971, 1973 and 1975.
My father, "The Colonel", succumbed to brain cancer in 1994 at age 66. My mother lived on until October 2011. She was a teenager in Germany during the war, married a GI at 20 and came to America.
================================
As I recall...
My very first after-school job was at the Iverson Mall Hot Shoppes Jr., fall of 1967. I finally had my driver's license and could borrow one of my parents' cars to get to work (from Edgemere Dr in Camp Springs). I made fried chicken and served sodas, but mainly ran the cash register 'cause I could do it with my eyes closed. But soon all my clothes started to smell like cooking grease and cleaning the bathrooms at 1 in the morning and taking home about $25 bucks for a 30 hour week got old in a hurry. I put on a coat and tie, walked over to Iverson Mall and landed a salesman's job at Clark's Music, where I stayed for another year and a half. This was 68 - 69 and lots of rock bands were buying gear, which I sold on commission. I made a bundle selling Fender guitars and amps, Marshall amps and speakers, Ludwig drums, Zildjian cymbals, the works. (Man, if I has just taken a Stratocaster instead of a week's pay...). I also managed most of the band instruments which Clark's rented to the area high schools, so I got to know a LOT of kids from others schools, especially GIRLS, and that started my dating adventures with Joyce and Kathy from Suitland High, Cheryl from La Reine, Becky from Oxon Hill, Gail, Joan, Sherry, from Crossland. By then I had my own car and I could be seen most Friday and Saturday evenings parked ... you guessed it, in the Hot Shoppes Jr. parking lot, eating hamburgers, playing the radio, and just seeing and being seen. What a life!

The link to my photos of the 40th reunion (.'69ers' 40th PHOTOS over on the left) broke when PicasaWeb was taken offline several years ago.
I now have the photos, both the candids and the photo booth, up on Flickr. You can see them at https://tinyurl.com/CHS69-40th
I also posted an album of photos of the 30th reunion(!) in 1999 at https://tinyurl.com/CHS69-30th
These photos were taken with my first digital camera, a SONY FD-7, so the resolution is not the greatest.
You're welcome to add names or comments. See you in August!!
Staying with Eric and coming to the 69 reunion. See you there!
