During my senior year, my girlfriend Lynn Ewer became pregnant (Oct. 1973). We had our first after I graduated July 1974. We married Oct 1974. I joined the Navy Jan 1975. I was discharged May 1977. We had our second son Aug 1977.

School Story

I went to the US Air force because all my uncles were in the Air force. Since I had taken 5 years of Spanish, 4 of French and 2 of German, the Air Force had me take the DLAT test, which was The Determination of Language Ability Test. I scored quite high. I was to be a translator for the Air Force since I wanted to learn Chinese or Russian because Communist China and the Soviet Union were our foes at the time; I needed a top secret security clearance. While I was waiting for the FBI to finish its job on me, my wife lost her job because she didn't get along with the supervisor. This was in December 1974. Thus, I needed to make more money because I had a 17-year-old wife and a 5-month-old son. I went to the US Navy across the street and asked how soon could they take me and do they have a job in the medical field since I was working as an orderly at a nursing home. They took me within three days. I joined the US Navy and, I enjoyed my service very much. At that time there was a television commercial that stated "Join the Navy; See the world." Well, I went to boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois. Then I went across the tracks to Hospital Corps school and then down the street to Navy Regional Medical Center, Great Lakes, Illinois. So, from my hometown of Kenosha to Great Lakes, it was only 27 miles. Once my service was done, my wife and I were expecting our second child. We lost one when I was still in the Navy. So since I was discharged, the Navy would not pay for the bills arising from this pregnancy. I went to nursing school because I was a Navy Corpsman. LPN school was only 10 months. I would earn enough to support my family and pay off our hospital bills. I worked for a while as a LPN and then went to ADN school at Gateway. Likewise, I entered UW Parkside in 1982, and I graduated in 1986 with a BA in French and Spanish. I then won a Teaching Assistantship during my senior year at UW Milwaukee in the French Department, where an MA was conferred upon me in 1989. I was doing some really great work and research on my research text of "La Chanson de Roland," and I was studying the history background of Charlemagne circa the year 800. Furthermore, I was set to go to Cornell for a Ph.D., but I had had enough schooling for my lifetime. I stopped schooling and got on with my life.

Happy 66th Ava! I still do have such great affection for you and your family. I still play the cello as does my oldest son. My youngest plays the violin; however, he hated it so much. I'd love to sit and talk. Muchos besos, Ava, Kim Anderson

Dale and I knew each other because I put myself in the foster home system. Her parents were foster parents, and I ended up at their house for a while. Dale and I being of the same age, we were able to get to know each other quite well. I don't remember how long I was there, but it was the interim between my mother's screwed up house and my long-term foster parents. I remember her fondly.

I knew Susie Briggs from grade school. She was decent and kind. I liked being around her; however, our paths didn't cross after junior high school.

Theresa was my girlfriend for a while and I really liked her. My future brother-in-law was also involved with her. I and he compared notes. Neither of us had anything bad to say about her. I am so sad to learn that she passed. RIP my dear Theresa.

Joe and I just knew each other. He lived around the corner from where I lived. I know he was a bad diabetic from early childhood. He and I went to all the same schools from 1st grade at Sunnyside, Lincoln and Tremper. I had a crush on him in Junior high. It's why I kept my distance so no one would see that I was gay. So, I am so sad that he has passed. RIP Mr. Demske.

I know that I know you because your name sounds so familiar. So, do we know each other?

Hey Bruce, did you play in orchestra in Junior and Senior High? I played String Bass in 7th grade. By spring, I beat out April Faulkner for 1st chair. She was a 9th grader. Then I switched to the cello, which I still play today. I also play the viola and violin. Let me know and have a great day!!!!!
The pic is me and my oldest son playing together. He still lives in Kenosha; I was visiting from Las Vegas in 2016. We never played together. I gave him my cello from junior and senior high. So, I bought another cello and had it sent to his house, so we could do that and make memories.
Ignore all this if you don't know me...

Steve and I were the stars of 3rd, 4th, and 5th year Spanish. In 3rd year, Mrs Zehring took us aside and asked us to stop raising our hands in class when we knew the answers to her questions. She said that all the other students who raised their hands would drop their hands when they saw Steve and I raised ours.
