LEE BULLOCK
I remember more “not wanting to do things” more than
“wanting to do things”..like I never wanted to work at the same thing or in the
same place for 50 years., or wear out my welcome by staying in the same place
too long. I've had 86 different jobs
enjoyed some..loathed others....and 50 years has flown by. Last year my oldest
son brought me the class yearbook found in an old closet. Since I only went to
Cap most of the last two years..but mostly I've enjoyed subsequent years. I
must have since I don't drink, do drugs, or smoke and have never felt compelled
to abuse the wife and kids to alleviate anxiety or other pains...also am father
of 12 year old and 18 month. yes month old boy hope everybody has had as much
fun as I've had....never spent too much time at the office...another memory of
Cap...I found it different after growing up among so many different races in
S.F. to be in a school where there were few Asians, Latinos, or Blacks....after
Grad I reverted back to the city except for time spent with R. Resendez &
Bob Mills.
I was in the Army for three years, achieving the
rank of E4.
I lived in Germany less than a year while working
for an Airline, lived mostly in San Francisco and now live in Illinois. Because
I moved around a lot, I left my parents' address in other directories.
At 65 I became the father of a boy, now 18 mos. old,
also have 12 and 38 year old boys, Still, as always, like movies, music, and
travel. Married once for 27 years and now currently for 14 years. I have been
retired for almost 19 years
I no longer share the American phobias for sports
and pets
I have an extensive film collection (7,000+
titles)but my favorites are those of the old comic masters of silent screen and
early sound where I like maybe 25 films about the same, but I can name five not
in that category, Tom Jones, The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Judgment at
Nuremberg, and The Great Escape.
Education includes an AA degree and some additional
college courses.
Anybody can follow the usually prescribed life path
of school, children, work, retirement, with something interesting occasionally
thrown in (like maybe adultery) but it takes a left-hander to retire and then
have children...cool, huh? I won't have
to worry about my children coming to visit me when I'm old and abandoned.
they’ll still be here.....and when they're not, I probably won't be either.
