Bob Johnson,
Hi Bob,
I graduated with a guy named Gene Moneymaker - 1948.
Short bio:
Graduated
Loyola U in 1952 with 2nd Lts commission. AF sent me to Washington U,
St. Louis to get a Master's in Nuclear Chemistry then asked me where I
wanted to be assigned. I said, "Special Weapons Center in Albuquerque," so
they sent me to Dayton, Ohio. 3 yrs there & back to Calif for jobs with
Northrop (20 yrs) and Hughes Aircraft (14 yrs).
The last 8 years with
Hughes were in Albuquerque as Manager of their corporate marketing
office. Retired in 1991, but had made an investment in a Texaco station
with my son Matt. Finally got rid of that loss-leader last June, and
have been taking life a little easier doing volunteer work for the
Brothers of the Good Shepherd. They run a Center for homeless men here
in town.
Just helped run a St. Patrick's Day Dinner at the Convention
Center that made over $20,000 to support the Center. Served approx. 2200
meals in 3 hours. Also just completed the state exam for R.E.
salesperson's license. I hope this gives you a nutshell view.
I now
weigh 205, so any picture of the 125 pound weakling at Carmel won't be
the same.
