SEAN PATRICK BURRIS

I went to school in Phoenix for two years, Married and Divorced my first wife within a year. Finished school with an Associates degree in Architectural Drafting CADD wich became usless and a waist of money. I married Misty (the girl I brought to prom) and had two children and pregnant with the third when I joined the Army Kayla was born in Vergina after my basic training and AIT (job training) so that I could work on Army Helicopters. I went to my first duty station in Germany but we lost our daughter Kayla to SIDS before I could get them over with me. We spent 6 years in Germany and traveld to many countries as well as deploying to many conflicts before my youngest was born in 1997 after that I deployed one more time to Bosnia returning to germany in September of 1998. We were then transfered out of Germany to Hawaii were we spent 3 years on the beach every weekend. We were again transfered to New York were I was finally medicaly retired from the Army with a disability that the VA picked up and sent me back to school where I am now completing my Bachelors in Business and I have just recnetly been picked up permenantly with the VA as a Financial Accounts Technician where I bill all the insurnaces and recover funds to put back into the VA system and assist in the care of other veterans. My family is all growing and doing well my Son is bigger than I am and enjoying Football and Lacrosse, my daugters are also playing lacrosse and enjoying it my oldest daughter is about to start driving on her own this summer so I am pulling my hair out. We have moved back out west to Oregon to be neer family and Kayla and it has been a great blessing for us we are doing well and doing better then we have since leaving the military. I can not beleive that I had not spoke to anyone since Graduation and now it is like I am able to find almost everyone, unfortunatly we have lost a few along the way, and we have not found everyones rock to turn over but I still can not believe the amount who have shown up in the last 6 months here and on facebook. cool

The haunted aditorium and being able to see the yellow eyes in the balcony when we were practicing for the talent show where Tommy, John, I think one or both of the Byram brothers, and David rocked the place with mixing three Matalica songs into one because they were told at the last minute that there would not be enough time for all three. I will never forget how awsome they made it sound transitioning from one song to the next all in time with one another and had not practiced before. How awsome they rocked, people running up to the stage and everything like a real concert it was awsome. All I ever did was drive them and their equipment around in my truck but we had some cool experiences together. It is too bad that we have lost John now, he will not be forgoten that is for sure.
