| 1975 | Alward, George | 4/14/2002 at 5:03:23 AM | WOW, what a great web sight! Okay my life story since Lapeer West. I headed off to the navy and was rejected for color blindness. I decided to chase my passion of music. Spent 3 years at Mott College catching up on some Gen. Ed classes then I enrolled at Michigan State in 79. I was very fortunate to win a scholarship on Trumpet (EAT YOUR HEART OUT JOE DOBOS). Received my B.A. in Music ED and proceeded to teach for several years. While at MSU I became an arranger and drill writer for the SPARTAN MARCHING BAND. Then I taught a few years then headed off toArizona State University where I taught trumpet and was also principal arranger and field instructor for the SUNDEVIL Marching Band. From that point on Istarted writing arrangements and field shows for HS Marching Bands, Michigan State University, ASU and also several top Competition Drum and Bugle Corps. It is here I have my true passion of judging shows and demonstrating rehearsal techniques at the World Championships each year. I still play my trumpet daily and no longer teach but am a member of the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra.Maeila and Deb W would love to hear from you. We can share those band memories. |

Went back to school in 1977 and graduated from Grand Rapids Community College with an associates in 1979. Ran out of money and joined the Navy in 1980. I served on both coasts in three different submarines (USS Benjamin Franklin, USS Birmingham, and USS Honolulu). Spent 11 of the greatest years of my life in Hawaii. I loved everything about the place. Went from a 30 to a 10 handicap (golf) and met my wife. Finished up my Bachelors Degree in 1995 at Hawaii Pacific University and took an early retirement from the Navy shortly thereafter. Moved back to Hadley for a couple of years but there isn't much use for an ex-submariner in Michigan. I landed a good job with a government contractor down in Crystal City, Virginia. I am a Logistician for a small company that provides logistic support to the Navy. I am surrounded by great people and I couldn't be happier. I am married and have two great kids, Ashley (13) and Christopher (11). I can't believe it's been over thirty years since we graduated. I wish all of you the best. Drop me a line if you remember me. It would be good to hear from you. kenneth.gordert@gte.net |
