I enjoyed being on the Swim team, Water Polo and Archery, Cross Country and Track and Field. Coach Stan LeProtti and his physical fitness program were the best; we had great teachers at La Sierra High School. I worked at Carmichael Recreaton and Park District as a lifeguard, and Graduated from American River College I was on the water polo team there as well. I then found a job with Ma Bell (Pacific Bell) so as you know Uncle Sam needed some help I did not enlist until I received my Draft Notice in January 1965. I did the Physical Exam gig and passed and received my Orders for Reporting in Oaklande U.S. Army, June 1965, went to Fort Ord Ca., then off to Fort Sill Ok.(OCS) school . Received my LT. bars and proudly my father A.M. Byrnes and Mother pinned his LT. BARS on me what a great honor. In July 1967 I was off to Vietnam.
