An 18 yr old, left the fast lane life of Los Angeles to spend two years at Gary, 1965-67. Wow! You might be thinking, yes it was a long time ago (73 yrs old now). Gary was quite different back then, military barracks, bunks and lockers. It was my first step to turning my life around. It was difficult but it helped to learn how to cope and interact with others. I joined the Army shortly after graduating. The skills acquired at Gary helped with my working life and even helped with what the Army life would bring my way, including one year in Vietnam. Don't give up or give in you wonderful young people.
