I found the love of my life and married her on October 29th, 2005. I enlisted in the Army several months after High School. My basic training was at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. While I was there I learned the fundamentals of good soldiering. My main job was as a supply specialist. Upon graduation from basic training I was enroute to Fort Lee,Virginia. There I continued my training. Along the way, I made some friends. After we graduated from A.I.T., we were able to spend Christmas with our families. We had a few weeks off until we were shipped out to various locations. My final destination was Heidelberg, Germany. I was stationed at Tompkins Barracks where I learned the logistical aspects of war. The war that we trained for wasn,t more than a minor skirmish. Noone from my company saw action. I spent 2 years in the Army. Was promoted twice , once while in basic training, and then later stateside in Washington, D.C. I tried my hand at college but it wasn't for me. Many trails and errors later this is where I'm at. In my spare time I write, record, and sing Country Music. See ya'll at the Reunion. Paul Allen

I spent 1 year in Mixed Chorus and 2 years in Acapella Choir. There I learned how to project my voice. I was also in 3 musicals in High School. In 10th Grade, I had a small role that was all. Our production of "The Fiddler on the Roof" was a huge success. My role in "Hello Dolly" was a little more demanding. I had alot of costume changes and things I had to deal with. As before, this was also a huge success. Finally, our senior year, I had to rise to the challenge. This was my finest hour. I not only had to remember cues, I also had to remember lines. "Anything Goes" was the best yet. That Dramatic Arts class sure came in handy. This would be the last time we would see each other on stage. I will cherish those memories forever. I almost forgot to mention the D.C. trip. Singing in the Lincoln Memorial was extraordinary. Learning a whole new way to sing was fun. I also played soccer back in the 10th Grade. If I hadn't gotten hurt who knows.
