Retired from Indiana Natl Guard.
Marines 65-68 (tour in Viet Nam), Married 1969 (still-32 years this August), Ball State 70-74 (BS in Marketing), twin boys in 1974.
Managed a wholesale warehouse and small grocery 1974-1978, Supervisor in a foundry 1978-1982, CUB Foods grocery manager 1982-1988, Full Time National Guard 1988-2005.
I still live 1 mile from where I grew up while going to BD.
In school I frequented the Parkeat, Tee-Pee, Poles, and typical root beer stands, but that was just to show off my girl and car. Of course I worked 45 hour work weeks during my last two years at Ben Davis.
And no divorce, how fortunate I have been. By the way I did not marry my high school sweetheart, I met a gal who was from KY (Margie) and it has been great.
I have very little contact with anyone from the class of 65. I did bowl a few years with Steve Pemberton and Lee Huff. I coached Little League back in the 70's and 80's and ran across several classmates through the South Wayne Little League.
Love to vacation. Over 20 trips to see Mickey in Orlando, Vegas is the second-best vacation spot, and Branson and Niagra Falls are tied for third place.
I love country music, still have 45s and albums from the sixties and seventies.

Wal-Mart in Plainfield for 16 years.
I have been married for 38 years to Melvin (Decatur High class of '63 ) and have a daughter, Laura 32 and a son Shelby 30. I have 2 grandsons, Wesley 14 and Aaron 12.
I will probably be working at the Plainfield Wal-Mart another year and then retire. I Like my job in Personnel and met a lot of nice people over the years but I do look forward to being able to retire.
My husband and I love to take trips in our '46 Buick so whenever he retires we will probably get to do more traveling. I have a '65 Mustang that I drive once in a while and that is lots of fun. I pretend like people are looking at me and not the car; that makes me feel good. Ha!

Weekly, Kenneth L.
Kenneth died from complications of kidney failure and congestive heart failure on September 15, 2001. He was an accountant for many years, and retired when he developed kidney problems. From his friend Suzi Robbins:
My husband met Ken in 1971. Ken was single, and we started inviting him to our home for meals, and a friendship more like family evolved.
I still am having trouble dealing with his passing, but I know he is happy now. He was so weak at the end, and I count it a blessing that my husband and I were able to take care of him til the end. We have two grandsons....and they called him Papaw Ken.
Let me say this about Ken....if you ever needed help he was right there. You never had to ask for anything. Ken was the kind of friend that some people only wish they had. To us, he was family. He and his brother Paul...(66 grad) lived together until Paul died in 1989 of AIDS. Ken took care of him to the very end..
Ken's other brothers were a lot older, and had their own families so we were lucky to get Ken.
Ken never did marry. He lived alone with his dog Beau. He was an accountant until he became ill in 1997.
The Dr gave him only 2 yrs at the max to live, but his will to live was strong, and he lived to 2001.

I would love to hear from any of you. Here is a toast to the class of 65! You definitely were a "class" act!

Admininstrative Assistant, Indiana Association for the Education of Young Children.
I finally graduated from college in 1999! (I actually started in Sept. of '65!)
In between times, I bought and managed a beauty school for 4 years, doing okay, then took on a partner and bought 2 more beauty schools. After a total of 9 years, we lost the entire business! That was NOT a good time!
Now I work for I.A.E.Y.C.(Indiana Assoc. for the Education of Young Children). We give scholarships to adults who want their education in Early Childhood. I'm an Administrative Assistant and like the job.
Things I like to do in my spare time are: reading, sailing, cooking, and snow skiing. My husband and I have a 22-foot sailboat on Eagle Creek, here in Indianapolis. And, we often take vacations to charter larger sailboats.

Hello to all. Wanted you to know that I still look just like the picture in the yearbook. (See photo at left, above). I didn't grow up in the Ben Davis area so only can remember a few of the pictures. I think I still have my yearbook. Carried it around all these years. I came to Ben Davis my junior year. From Tech High School in Indianapolis.
Shortly after graduation I went to work at Indiana Bell. From there to the Air Force. Then back to the Phone company. Retired from there in 1996. Living in Bloomington In now. Have one grown son in Phoenix and a daughter ready for med school. Also a daughter in her senior year at IU. Best Wishes to all.

I went to BD 2 years before moving to Decatur Township. After I found this BB on the internet and posted on it a few times I became an honorary member. It has really been great reconnecting with all of you. Finding where all of you live and what you do or have done over these 40 some years. After high school I worked at Allison Transmission in Speedway for 31 years, retiring 7-1-1997. I have step-kids scattered here and yonder and grandkids the same way from a previous marriage. I've lived here in Lafayette with my wife Brenda for almost 3 years. We met on the internet. Brenda works at Purdue University in the Library System.

I was a graduate of '65. I wasn't in the yearbook because my father would not buy my senior pictures. I made them myself in the print shop @ BD. They would not print my picture because the yearbook company didn't take them. 
After high school and the military I worked for International Harvester for 14 1/2 years. Got into the restaurant/lounge business in 1980 until recently. I have worked for Bright Ideas in Broad Ripple since 1994.  They are a promotional products/marketing company. Also have a heating and cooling company in Plainfield. Expert Air. 
Not married.
Live in Carmel.
