Want to make it to 100.
Loving Life
by HarryT
I popped out of my mom, head first, 83 years ago. Lived in Chicago and attended St. Gall school. Made communion and confirmation and graduated. Went to De La Salle Institute, played basketball and baseball, wrote for the school newspaper and sang in the chorus.
Dated Susie while at Loyola. Got engaged but she gave me back my ring. I cried and spent three days in my parents’ basement. Went on to graduate school at Northwestern and then began my career in education. Meet my first wife while teaching at Glenview Junior High. Had two children and then we divorced.
Became a principal and a superintendent. Married my secretary and then retired and became a headmaster of a private school in St. Louis. Returned to Arlington Heights and taught at Benedictine University. Retired again after having two heart attacks and a double bypass. Still going, writing, bowling and loving life.
