After about three weeks I came back to the school to complete my courses. The school was in a panic and everyone knew that after graduation the place was to be closed down. By some quirk of fate I and about ten other juniors received diplomas. Now this was weird, my life and school was mirroring what was happening in Vietnam just a month before, where orphaned babies were frantically put on planes while the Viet Cong advanced on Saigon. How short sighted they were.
Education is always an investment in the future.
Now 25 years later I have many happy memories of Campion in Wisconsin, and Bellermine College Prep in San Jose, California where I had a real senior year. I think it is time for the classes of 1976, and 1977 who never got the chance to graduate at Campion to get some recognition. Let's find these guys. Feel free to E-Mail me with your thoughts.
