After graduation from high school I started to work at ACM (Akron Controller Motor) I was there for just a little over a year and then was drafted into United States Army, November 1967 Thanksgiving Day. I spent my first year of actual service in Fort Carson, Colorado, which I'd love there. The mountains were beautiful. I sent to Vietnam. November 1968, I may made rank of Sgt. and was a tank commander with the 4th infantry division, 4th engineer division, tankers platoon. While I was in Vietnam my mother and father moved from Akron to Miami, Florida. When I was released from duty from the Army. I thought it would be so cool to live in "Miami, Florida". So in November 1969 I flew to Miami, Florida from St. Louis, Washington. At first it was out of this world,but then I got lonely. The only ones I knew in South Florida where my mother and father and my youngest brother. I bought a used car and drove back to Akron, Ohio not to get into many details. I spent 3 days there and headed back to Florida. Have been here for the past 45 years, only to make a brief visit to Ohio to see my brother, who is still there, and ironically, my oldest daughter, who married a guy on the Dino, Ohio, and is now been up there with him for the last 18 years. I am sorry to say I am unable to make any of those trips anymore. I met my beautiful wife in January 1970. We were engaged, February 1970. We were married March 1970 WOW was that fast, but this March will be 445 years together. But it was a very rough ride. We're both born again Christians, but I had backslidden badly, because of Vietnam. Maybe. Who knows why? But I spent the first 17 years of our marriage as an Alcoholic,I have been sober for almost 28 years. My wife stood by me all this time and God used her to lead me toward sobriety. In January 1970. I went to work for BellSouth Telecommunications aas an electronic technician. I retired from there were 30 years and went to work for Nortel as a Senior Software Engineer.I worked from home for them. For the next 10 years, until they file for bankruptcy. Fortunately I was going to turn 62 before they went bankrupt, and after searching the job market and finding that no one wanted a 62-year-old software programmer would make you get one right out of college for a 3rd of the price they would have to pay me, so I went ahead and retired that gave me 40 years in the Telecommunicatio business. My retirement didn't start out very good. I retired in January 2010, and in December 2011, I was diagnosed with 3rd stage colon cancer. I'm not going to go into all the details because it would take too long and this is already long enough.in May 2012 while undergoing intense chemo sessions after having ascending colon removed,I collapsed. Like I said, I will try to make this short, if possible, you don't need the gruesome details. In 2013, I was diagnosed with Ataxia,then Acute Peripheral Neuropathy,then Parkinson's disease.I am now 100% service connected disabled veteran wheelchair-bound ( motorized wheelchair. At that thanks to the VA)the VA considers me this hundred percent service connected disability due to the fact of exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. As you can guess I will not be unable to to make this reunion. I do hope that they have a great turnout. That is a lot of years to cover I was of the class of 1966. To end this off my lovely wife and I after living for years in Miami have resided in Hollywood, Florida for the last 40 years (in the same house). We had 2 beautiful daughters,, both are now married and had given me grandchildren. As I said earlier, one lives in the Dino, Ohio with 4 girls as my granddaughters. The other one lives about 140 miles north of me in Lake Placid, Florida with 2 boys as my grandsons. With so much for now. If anybody would like to communicate with me by email. My private email address is 2126ropbert@att.net just remember to keep it clean as I am a born again Christian trying to walk in his footsteps. As Joyce Myers would say I'm not where I out of be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be.
