John Christian

I have 11 grandchildren – 7 girls and 4 boys. I have been retired 12 years due to a spinal cord injury.

The favorite place I have traveled to has to be Alaska; we took a cruise and then inland tour to Fairbanks on the bus and train in the fall. What a sight!

My favorite quote is not mine, but one I heard by an elderly gentleman I was duck hunting with – “the older I get, the better I was.”

I have lived in the local area for all of my life – 31 years in Oswego.

My favorite memory is spending many hours at Centennial Beach swimming and playing Hearts.

I would like to revisit Oswald’s Pharmacy.

My favorite singing group was The Platters, and my favorite tv show – “Gunsmoke.”

I am a Vietnam war era veteran (1964-67).
