Graduated from High School and went to the Army same as everyone else in those days. Loved it, first duty 2 1/2 years in Key West, Florida, with Hawk Missiles. Had a Commander that told me if I wanted rank I needed college, so I got Associate in Science in Economics. Made rank and got into AUTODIN, did well and was selected for specialized training. Told if I wanted more rank I needed more college, so got a Bachelor in History from the Univ of New York. Spent 9 years in Europe over next 11 years working communications, research and development. With stateside duties in New Jersey, Georgia and Maryland. Ended with over 200 hours of Electronics training with the Army Signal.

Wanted to do something different so left Army with 20 years service as Master Sergeant and on promotion list for Sergeant Major. Wanted to Teach so returned to school and got teaching certification and taught one year of High School History and Social Studies. Was Not cut out for teaching so went back to school again and got Master's in Psychology. Spent 15 Years working in Mental Health working with adults with chronic mental illness, ran a crisis house and hotline for Frederick co., Maryland. My son and his wife and daughters moved to Pennsylvania and Patt and I followed. Rules in PA were different than MD there had to be a LSW-C to do therapy in PA my Master's was all I needed.

Worked as private contractor for a Drug and Alcohol treatment center in York Co PA. Did individual, treatment groups, couples, family and and family group education on addiction. Made more money in five years than I did in my first 18 years in the Army. So I retired again, spend my time doing genealogy and writing a book on my family history.

School Story

In 1992 got my Master's from Hood College in Frederick, Maryland at the age of 45. This was one week before my son got his Bachelor from McDaniel college in Westminster, Maryland. I told him that I could not let him catch up.

Stu:

Gary Utter, I lived on the other side of the Flood's from you. You lived in the old O'Brian house who was owner, at that time, with Betzers Funeral Home. Your classmate Kathy O'Brian lived there for a period of time. On the other side of you a couple of houses down was Chuck Hanson, remember him.

Your Grandfather Mr Wood who taught Shop was by far my favorite teacher.

Glad things are going well with you and thanks for remembering yourclassmate.   Gary

I really like your answers and comments for the profile questions. We were the class that was going to change things in this world and in many ways we have been able to do that. I talked to your brother and got the impression that he still harbored hard feeling from the past, it is a shame but that is his chose and his right. He was a friend of my cousin Wally Utter who lived in Darien for a period of time. Please bring pictures, grandma!
