Today's Featured Biography

Rex Barfuss

Life is a journey not a destination - enjoy the ride!

Life
Life continues to be good - I have 6 children and 7 grandchildren spread around the globe. I spent 27 years in the Army and am now living in Washington State, I retired from EDS (early retirement offer) and completed a MS degree from Drexel University (to teach technology). Retired from Harris Corporation after 9 years there, took an early separation incentive and enjoying the change in life.
Hope to see some of you in the coming years. Remarried in June 2007 to Kathy Jo – she is one awesome woman who makes me happy!
I survived a no notice heart attack 11 November 2011 – received two stents and have pressed on since with a different focus most times. I am also a cancer survivor – Prostate cancer, underwent surgery August 2013 and am glad for my many blessings in life and the times in which we live.

School
What ever happened to Pearl Batterman (German)? She sure was a good teacher, actually cared about her students... and folks like Bob Hall (Chemistry) - there were a few good teachers in West High School back then. After spending time in schools this last couple years student teaching I wonder how we made it… or teacher’s put up with us? Patience and love of teaching had to have been in play for sure…

Workplace
I sure enjoyed my time in the Army, but I don't miss it at all. I miss the people and good times, and can still remember some of the shitty times - and my heart goes out for those serving overseas today and their loved ones. I have had 2 children and 2 sons in laws serve overseas in Iraq/Afghanistan and wish I felt we were accomplishing something there (but I don't). It is time to come home.
I am looking forward to retiring and spending more time riding our Goldwing, taking trips to nowhere… arriving on time and leaving when we want!

Looking forward to renewing acquaintances with classmates this September and enjoying life.
