RONALD BROWN

Been in the Army since graduation. Got out for a little while to go to college at OU and then rejoined the army as an officer and UH-60 Blackhawk pilot. Been deployed to combat twice. First time for Operation Desert Storm then just recently to Iraq for Iraqi Freedom. Been stationed at Fort Bragg, NC and Fort Hood, TX where I currently serve. Still try to do art when I can (degree in graphic design) and will hopefully do it full time when I retire from the Army in 5 or six years. I'm still single and haven't had any kids yet. I've only really kept in contact with a few of you since graduation. Hope all are well and to see you soon.

I had a great time at Rogers and was in the nerd crew. Although I played a sport or two (swimming and cross country) I was nowhere near jock-type. I can remember some funny and wack moments - some that I will never forget, for good or bad reasons. One moment that I recall that is etched in my regrettable memory banks in that I asked a girl named Carmelita to go to the prom with me and she said yes! But, during the time just before the actual prom, I chickened out and never followed through. I wound up going stag. I ran into her during the prom and she scolded me for leaving her hanging. I was an idiot. Other than that, my best friend, Jason Barker, and I had a great time acting stupid and being wacky.
