After graduating from Arizona, I attended the Naval Officers Candidate School in Newport, RI. Several months later I was officially declared both an Officer and a Gentleman. Unfortunately, I never met Richard Gere or Debra Winger. After 3 years of sea duty I was released from the service at the Navy Processing Center on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. I drove my VW into San Francisco (it was 1968, everyone had a VW) and rented an apartment. Eventually, I typed up a resume and went to work at the corporate headquarters for Fireman's Fund Insurance Companies. Turns out I had a knack for an emerging field called Information Technology. I retired from IT in 1997 to spend more time with a real estate investment company called Fowler Properties (I thought of the name myself). I now live across the bridge from SF in Marin County with my wife of 30 some years. And yes, I am a father and a grandfather. Not bad for a guy who had a tough time getting a date. Hope you are all doing well.
