Hold the Calls! Mystery Classmate Identified.

Why, it's Bob Helie, of course.
He writes from Oklahoma:
Hey Stan, it's getting HOT down here! Got the ol' air conditioner puffing at capacity. Absolutely LOVE the '65 Roundup site. Been slipping in and out for a month and a half or so, but just now signing in. Was that procrastination thing an actual class we took back at good ol' Jefferson High?
Well, here goes...40 years in 40 lines or less...(drum roll)...out of Edmond, Oklahoma...the bio that almost wasn't:

Schooling to avoid the draft
That diploma actually was signed, so I immediately enrolled and went to St Cloud State. Freshman quarters, three BUNK beds to a room with absolutely everyone schooling to avoid the draft. I couldn't afford Spring semester of '68 so the draft had me just five weeks later. Took basic and medical training in San Antonio. Shipped to Viet Nam 01Sep68. I used every bit of my training during my year there.

Out to St Cloud State College for the next bunch of years. I worked nights at the VA Hosp-St Cloud. I graduated in summer of '75 and began teaching at Foley High School that fall using both of my majors, Eng. and Ind Arts. After 7 years of teaching, a reduction-in-force (the big RIF) sent me packing. We hit I-35 South heading to San Antonio to try getting on at Brooke General Hospital (currently in Army Reserve). Blew two tires in Kansas, had 35 dollars to my name as we crossed the border into Oklahoma. We wound up at the RTA Campgrounds, North Oklahoma City. I pumped beer at the Last Chance Saloon (Frontier City Fun Park next door) 'til I saved the 35 bucks for my Oklahoma Teaching Certificate. After subbing 2 months at Edmond Memorial High School, I got a full-time teaching position.

Now we're in the 1980s
I filled a two-year contract teaching at El Reno Jr. College and three gates deep into the federal correctional prison there. Now there's an eye-opener (two eyes open, one-eye closed). Started a t-shirt silk-screening business and worked my buns off for seven years 'til I sold it and decided to semi-retire. Began driving school bus to get me up in the morning, and have summers off, which is about where I am now.

Scattered throughout that timeline of events was my marriage to Lori in 1970 (still married), 4 kids (three boys, one girl) to visit with the principal about, twice-annual trips to Minnesota to fish and snowmobile, a full-summer holiday to Alaska (Anchorage area which showed me where I want to spend my full-retirement), and a visit on stage with Oprah. -- Now I'm lying about one of the above....hmmm...
Can't wait to see y'all on the 6th...
Not bad, huh, Trailboss guy? 30 lines... See Ya...
