John Brown

Joined the Navy in July 1966 and stayed in for 7 years. Joined Federal Service in August 1973 and retired in May 2007. Hired on to State of Colorado in May 2007 and retired in August 2017. I was an electronics technician for 51 years. My interest in electronics started in my sophomore year in Terry Johnson’s electronics class. I was in his class for all three years! When I joined the Navy they sent me to electronics school. The first two weeks of the training exceeded Mr Johnson’s classes! I volunteer at a food distribution center for the homeless and needy.

I wasn't much of a sportsman but I learned to serve as I was the wrestling and track managers (student assistant). I had Mr King for history and found it boring as well as repetitive remembering dates however I actually seek out history where I have lived as an adult over the years including history soaked New England states. I was never a star student in Hershburgers english class. I must have learned something as I wrote complete training classes on satelite systems for the Air Force. My math came in real handy through out my career in electronics. Many times I would ask myself how did I know that them realized I had learned it at MHS.
