Note: During our senior year at LBHS, Bob and Patti dated and attended the Senior Prom
together.

Robert:

Joined U. S. Army in March after graduation, selecting aviation maintenance
training as a vocation and receiving training at Ft Eustis, VA after basic training
at Ft Dix, NJ. In October of 1966, was on assignment to Vietnam, South East
Asia as a helicopter repairman and returning to U.S. in October 1967. Completed
final year and a half on active duty at Fort Ord, CA.

Patti:
Worked at a law office in Long Branch and then at a large church in Red Bank as
secretary to several pastors. Growing up, I always dreamed of finding Mr. Right
and settling down and raising a large happy family.

Together:

During my assignment in California, Patricia and I were married in February 1968
and spent our first year of married life at Fort Ord. We returned to Long Branch
in March 1969 where our first son (Keith) was born.

I entered Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics in Pittsburgh, PA in August 1970
while working nights at Allegheny County Airport. Our second son (Glenn) was
born during this time. I was recruited to the US Steel Corporate Flight
Department as an aircraft maintenance and flight technician from 1972-75. Our
third son (Patrick) arrived in 1975. We committed our lives to the Lord while
living in the Pittsburgh area.

In August of 1976, we moved to Allentown, PA to take a position with the Air
Products Flight Operation as aircraft technician. Our fourth son (Matthew) and
our daughter (Christi) were born during this time. I completed my career with
APCI as the Flight Department Manager for the final fifteen years accumulating
thirty-six years at APCI before retiring in 2012. We are thankful for the blessings
and provision during our career and growing family years.

We are blessed in retirement with our children and their spouses and our thirteen
wonderful grandchildren.
