My life the past 50 years. After 2 years of college I started working for Northwest Airlines at the Cleveland Hopkins airport. In 1956 I married another Northwest agent and in 1958 we transferred to the Tampa/St.Petersburg airport in Florida. In 1964 we divorced and I married again - this time to a Delta Air Lines agent - in 1965. In 1972 we adopted our son Mark, now 29, and in 1974 we had a daughter Christina, now 27. I quit work in 1978 and stayed home to raise the kids. I feel very fortunate that both kids live near us. We also have been fortunate, due to our occupations, to do a lot of traveling throughout the world. As for the others in my family that many of you knew--brother Jim, OHS class of 1957, is in the medical imaging business. He is in partnership with friends in Florida manufacturing cardiac x-ray imaging equipment and also consults with mammography equipment manufacturers around the world. My mother, who was manager of the AAA, passed away in 1977 and my father, OHS class of 1924, OC photographer, passed away Thanksgiving 2001 at the age of 97. His obituary is on the O-High web site.
I've had a good life and hope it goes on for many more years.
