Where Are They Now? Bruce McCormick

Here's the latest from BHS '67 classmate Bruce McCormick... thanks for the update, Bruce!Hi, Cathy. I hadn't "checked in" since the 30, so I thought I'd give a quick update......I'm retired and living in a small town called Pierce, Idaho, pop. 508. There's no cell service and no mail delivery (you have to pick it up at the post office). Until about a month ago, my Garmin didn't even know where it was when I put in the zip code. AND it's 63 miles to the closest Starbucks! We do get Internet and satellite, but no place is perfect! I do not live in an area called Bel Air or Brentwood or Beverly Hills....It's called....are you ready...Chicken coop.After about 35 years in I.T., I burned out. From 2008 until this last Feb I was working as a special education instructional assistant at a middle school. During that time I also published a book which you can find on Amazon.com by putting "DaoDeJing Bruce" in the search box. Then In Feb. I decided to "get the hell outta Dodge" and moved here.Take care. Keep up the good work. I'm glad someone's taken the bull by tail and faced the situation!
