[2001] Hello Mary!

I enjoyed the class website. It is great to see what some of the classmates look like years later. I don't think I would have recognized most of the ones I saw in the pictures.


I spent four years in the Navy as a submarine sailor.  I was a Torpedoman\ Polaris launcher technician. I did 6 patrols and logged about 15 months total time under water. I worked mostly with the Polaris missile and would have pressed the last switch to release the missile.


I  married in 1983 and have no children. My wife could not have any and I did not want any. If you ask Rose, she would say it is hard enough raising me.  I do have 10 cats and one dog, my children so to speak. I am restoring a 1959 Edsel Ranger and now have a 1959 Edsel Villager wagon I might tackle.  


A few years ago I ran into Glenetta Viton at Disney World in Florida.  My brother in law is the brother of Sonja Houck.   I saw Sonja and Kenney in North Carolina a few years ago. Have a good one and keep in touch.   - David
