Mike Stoddard

Favorite Memory:
Whitewashing the big "D" in my freshman year, the Roller-rink at the South Base, being the soda-jerk at the teen club (remember my too-strong lime-Rickeys?), marching in Mr. Thompsons band, living in "Wherry" housing, managing the basketball team & getting my only "D" letter, and more.

Biography
My Dad moved to Edwards from Oxnard when I was only 4; we stayed until my freshman year at DHS. Moved off-base (during the military buildup) to Lancaster and graduated there in '66. Attended UCSB, AVJC, and graduated in 1971 with a BSEE from CSU Long Beach. Have worked all the rest of my life as a computer software engineer. Married now with two daughters.
My best memories were the swim parties at the teen club, marching in the school band, and playing Dawn Dodson's oboe solo at 8th grade graduation when she got sick with the chicken pox.

Favorite Memory
Hanging out with my best buddy Jerry Wise at the Teen Club & the "Flush" Playing one on one basketball with Terry Moe. Winning the Conference Golf Championship as a Freshman. Playing golf with John Rogers, Jerry Wise,Terry Gunn, Mike Statz,Mike Dingus. My first car, a green 51 Chevy that I later sold to Mike Dingus. That wild party at my parents house where Jerry Wise, Terry Moe, Vic Sorlie & Yours Truly first learned about the evils of alcohol and the MP's! Walking the cement fences around the homes late at night.

Biography
I would have graduated from Desert High in 1966, but moved to Anchorage Alaska in Nov. of 1964. Graduated from West Anchorage High in 1966. It took me just two terms to graduate from college...Johnson's & Nixon's terms...1974, University of Central Florida (Orlando). My two sisters, Cathy & Sandi(Free Spirit) live in Orlando. My parents are gone. I'm 52, Employed as a Territory Manager for the Ben Hogan Golf Company, Spalding Sports Worldwide & Etonic Golf for the past 26 years. Married since 71 to Patty (School teacher) & have lived in Royal Palm Beach Florida since 1977. One son (that I know of) Brandon, 25, recently married, & is a Senior Computer Programmer for Motorola in Boynton Beach Florida. I've kept in touch with Jerry Wise & John Rogers over the Years. My passion is still Golf! I recently had a brief reunion with Terry Gunn & John Rogers. John lives here in West Palm Beach. I value my experiences, memories & friendships of my time at Edwards 1960-1964. I did go back to Bakersfield College in 1966 & 1967 & visited Edwards on the weekends. I would love to go back to Edwards & play the Muroc Lake golf course one last time! May the Force be with you.
