Bobby Smith
Bobby
is a Roosevelt Jr. High and CHS grad. He
said his worst moment at CHS was blowing up chemistry lab during an ether
experiment. He dated
Joyce
Kirby
during his senior (
Joyce
was a Junior.) AND it was his first kiss!
Soon after CHS
Bobby
joined the Navy to see the world (and keep from being drafted!).
What a great job he had in the Navy … aiming canons.
Soon though he went to
Officer
Training School
and was commissioned as an Ensign, went to flight school and graduated as
navigator (He said he liked to navigate around the girls also).
After he retired from the Navy (with those great retirement benefits) he
worked with Trans-Caribbean and Seaboard World airlines both out of JFK in
New York
(Wow an Okie in the big city!).
Bobby
has been married twice. He met both
wives from adjoining apartment parties (Those Navy guys really get around!).
His first wife was from
Germany
and it lasted 10-years with one child (a girl) and his second wife is from
Columbia
and it lasted 10-years also with two children both girls.
Bobby
is now living in
Washington
State
and says he never lived in
Oklahoma
after leaving
Tulsa
and joining the Navy.
Bobby
says he has been in good health, except for diabetes and basically the only
serious problem he has is his pot belly (
Bobby
was so thin at CHS).
Bob
says he has never attended a CHS reunion but hope to attend
