Well it's been a long and wonderful ride so far. Spent 6 years in the Navy, 4 of them on active duty...Was a trained Combat Medic...Spent almost 2 years serving with the Marine Corps at that time..
Started Nursing school in 1976...graduated 1978. Have been a Nurse for 38 years now. Worked in a variety of areas, ICU, Orthopedics, Surgery, Long Term Care, Home Health, and now Hemodialysis....I worked as a travel nurse, and must say I love it...Been to Gillette, Wyoming-Nagcodoches,Tx, and now Siler City, NC.
Moved to Southwest Missouri in 1989 and have been there ever since....In my spare time I paint, weld, golf, camp, fish, spend time with the grandkids. At christmas I dress up as Santa for the grandkids
Retired in September 2014 after 36 years in Nursing.
Well ya know as time goes by things change. In August of 2015 my bride and I of 24 years decided to end our union. So here I am at 66 pursing the single life.
Been a few developments this last few years. My son has been elected as Mayor of the town we live in.
I got to see and visit with Mark Wannamaker who I've not seen since we graduated from high school. He and his wife are thinking of moving somewhere do here in Southwest Missouri
Went to the 45 years reunion, was great seeing all the old gang
St Matthews Elementary School
East Junior High
Alton High
Lewis & Clark Community College
School of hard Knocks
I mainly remember standing outside the Main building before school with Jim Mcdonald, Glen Valen, Randy Cook, Mike Rae, and several junior class men who's names currently escape me,(Oh a minds a terrible thing to waste, Ah heck let's blame it on Agent Orange!!!)
Playing on the football team taught me the meaning of team work and fit with my military time very well...There were many good friends on the team and we always tried our best....Oh, by the way, and one remember who Animal is? You know who you are!!!!
Well may everyone be bless and safe, till we are able once again to spend some cherished time together...
Does everyone remember Mr. Bruno? How about Nan Paletz? And of course Laura Bassett. Mr Hiedbrink, Ron Kelly, Mr Jurese, Mr Matthews, Cha Cha Bryant, Harry Prestly, just to name a few...

Happy birthday Chris State happy and satisfied with life
Jim and my friendship goes back to Junior high. We played on the football team together. Spent summers riding our bikes, once going to Grafton. We'd go to his step father and mother's cabin on the Illinois river in summer and winter. Jimmy was a great friend. I hadn't seen him in probably 30 years until 2 years ago when I was back visiting Alton. His cousin called and told him I was in Alton and Jim came to visit me at the motel. We spent 4 hours catching up and reminiscing about a days as young men. RIP Jim. I will think of you often.

Chris I so remember you from high school, from aborted attempt to remain a football player to being in classes with you. You were always someone with a good outlook on life and it makes sense that a Navy Corpsman assigned to Fleet Marine would become an RN since you did alot of nursing keeping a Marine Combat Platoon healthy. I am so glad that you are like me in admiring Mr Bruno so much. Along with Mr Wools he was easily my best teacher at AHS. I was a clinical social worker with the VA for 44 years after coming off active duty and I would often mention Mr Bruno to my guys in group therapy because he taught me so much and was such a role model for how to live my life. m IU have a small private psychotherapy practice post retirement and I continue to use skills Mr Bruno taught me to this very day. Email me if you have a chance FRVoak52@gmail.com
Happy Birthday buddy!
Glen and I were good friends in high school. We'd hang out in front of the main building in the spring and fall. We'd hang inside in the winter.
