What have you been up to since you graduated from High School?

Because, my father (Nunez) was never around to help my mom in briinging up 6 children, when I turned 21, I changed my last name to Napoletano to honor her. Spent some time in an apprenticeship for tool and dye, company went on strike in the middle of winter, I didn't walk the line and lost my job. Went to work for the Postal Service, worked there for about a year and decided to enlist in the ARMY. Spent time in Germany, sat on the border of Germany and Czechoslovakia when the Russians invaded but we did nothing, there was nothing of interest for the US. Had a little over a year to go on my enlistment and was sent to VietNam, came home 1970 went back to work for the USPS, got married started my Corporation, had children, got divorced, moved to NC to be closer to my grandchildren and life goes on......volunteered with HABITAT helped build homes (86) until my medical issues prevented me from helping anymore.
