Worked at Goodwin Bros Dodge and Plymouth Dealership from 1965 to 1967, then starting work with IBM in 1967. They moved me to Charlotte N.C. in 1982, and I still live in N.C. I am still a die hard Ky Wildcat basketball fan. Retired from IBM in 1998, and went to work for a company that made wire harnesses for the government. Worked there until 2009, when I got laid off when they close the place down. No luck finding work at 62 and 1/2. They don't hire senior citizens. So I retired.

School Story

I remember when we had a judge an jury to take care of any problems that occured in class or the hall ways. I remember someone hit a girl in the arm, so that girl got to hit him in the arm a few times. I got caught running up the stairs, which I don't think that was all that bad, So I had to walk up and down the stairs a few times. It beat getting sent to the principles office.

Bill, I did not see you picture in the year book. I do not know if I had a class with you or not. That was over 50 years ago. Although I do remember some things that our class did back then, my memory is not as good as it was being on oxygen all the time. I was told that I do loose some of my brain power. But I do not understand what my problem was back in 1964

Hey Rick, long time no see. How have you been doing. Myself, that is a different story. What have you been doing all these years. I got a job with IBM and they moved me to Charlotte NC. Even though I am down here in the middle of all these tarheels, I am still a KY Wildcat fan. I get a big enjoyment when they beat the teams down here. I have the bragging rights. In 1998 I had to retire from IBM, because they were downsizing and I was on the chopping block. They ended up selling the place down here. I was only 52 at the time. but I managed to get my 31 years in with them so I have full benefits. I still had to work though. I got another job and worked it until they close the shop down and I got laid off. At 62 1/2 year old, you don't find a job because they don't hire the old. So I ended up starting my Social Security up. It along with unemployment and pension, I was making out pretty good for a while. I eventually had to stop the unemployment, so I am living in retirement now. Got COPD and on oxygen 24/7, from years and years of smoking. I quit at 52, but it came back to haunt me. Well enough about me. I hope you are in good health and have a big family. Take care.

I was born in New York. My dad worked at IBM and we got transferred down to Kentucky in 1956. I went to Linlee when I first came downs, then we were suppose to go to Leestown, but it would not be ready until Dec. so we went to churches until then. Then on to Lafayette Jr. and Sr. Loved it. Great memories.
