Occupation: Put to pasture
Personal Information: Married to Bernadine Woodard, one son
Michael Brandon...not a junior. They put me to pasture early
unfortunately, not to stud. Had a pretty good heart attack: the gift
that keeps giving and caused some degradation of injuries I got from
Uncle Sam.
I found it really enjoyable to see old friends here. Ricky, who I had no
idea was named "Enrique," Marvin, Brian Small out there digging up
bones. I hope he doesn't find any I left! Obie, my sincerest condolences
to you. Toni Wilson, who I used to see often but didn't talk much with (
I think she got mad at me?). Marvin Kyburz and Junior Henry: Now there's
a wrecking crew.
As with Toni, Karen, Rene and the rest of the ladies from the West
Orange class of '75, it's a shamed men don't mature as fast as
women...or better to say "get as smart as fast!" Y'all were and are
truly the best. Of everything!
I hesitated logging in here because I didn't graduate, at least not at
West Orange. It took me a little longer and by not graduating have
always felt it was wrong to stay I did or participate in class
functions. Reading the names here, these are all people I know and
love and didn't have the sense as a knot headed kid to realize and value
it. I had to say hello. For the nice stroll down memory lane, I thank
you... Date Posted - May 14, 2007
