Dennis Drake

Taught School for 3 years, then worked for Univac, Remington Rand, Sperry Rand, Sperry, then UNISYS. All the same company for 24 years. Always worked on Military computer systems. Then purchased a KOA Campground which we ran for 12 years - Location Lena IL. We are now retired in Grove and enjoying relatively warm winters and various activities.

Only attended Park HS 2 years. Most remembered incident was when several black haired class members decided to go blond. Peroxide turned their hair RED. In those days this was an expelling infraction.

I did have something to do with putting a chemical in a drinking fountain that produced acetylene gas when mixed with water. When lit a small flame was produced which enlarged considerable when someone turned on the water to try and put out the smoky flame.
