Biographies
Dushko Damjanovich
I am Dushko Damjanovich former exchange student at RHS, class 1973, from Yugoslavia.
For the beginning, please let me express deepest sympathies to all American families that lost some of their members in the absurd terrorist attack on 11th. September 2001.
After I came back from USA, I finished my education at University of Belgrade, and got employed at Yugoslav aircraft overhaul facility. In February 1979, I got married. We have three children; Zorica (22, law student), Petar (20, building engineering student) and Jasmina (14, eight grade of elementary school). We live in town Zemun, about seven kilometers to the North of Yugoslav capital, Belgrade. In 1991, a year after my mother died, I started my own business, by founding an independent enterprise named SZR "K V A R C". In this enterprise we repair and develop electronic devices (industrial and automotive). Also, sometimes I am working some inovation jobs. I have two recognized patents by now: "Voltage regulator for DC generators without moving parts" and "Ecological supplement for laundry washing machine based on ultrasonic bath". This was a brief report of me, my family and my job. If someone wants to contact me, please feel free, and I shall respond.

Two years after high school I entered the Army. I spent three years on active duty ('75-'78) then returned to Tampa. I met Patricia Neil and we were married in 1983. I then went back in the Army in "84 where I have served our country and it's citizens ever since. I now have 21 years in and plan to retire next May and begin a career of self-employment in the insurance industry. Patricia and I had two children, Sarah is 17 and David is 14.

I have been in construction management for the past 20 years and am now about to enter into real estate. I live in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida but have only been here for about 1 1/2 years. I spent 23 years between Macon and Warner Robins, Georgia. That's where our kids and my sister and parents live. I still remember all the great times at Robinson. I had some wonderful friends....just to name a few....Donna Freeman, Linda Reeves, Frank Freemena, Steve Foster, David Fuschini, Billy and Donnie Huggins, Vicky Williams, and Mary Smith. I also remember and have been in touch with Don Satterwhite (who is now a pastor) and Brian Mahoney (who now lives in Texas). I would love to get in touch with some of our other old friends.

Carolyn Superdock Valk
I left Tampa in 1978 and moved to Houston. I married in 1980 and have two beautiful daughters now age 12 (7th grade) and 19 (Junior at the University of Houston). My husband travels quite a bit and two years ago, my youngest and I went with him to China then to Pennsylvania. We are back in Houston now. Got home just in time to experience Tropical Storm Alisson with all her flooding. Our area got 30 inches of rain in 24 hours. Needless to say, our house got flooded and we are still in the process of remodeling. Hopefully we will be done next month. 4 months later! I am an Expediter for Halliburton which is a major engineering and construction company for the oil and gas industry. I took a hiatus for 2 yrs while I was traveling with my husband. Prior to my hiatus and traveling, I met a wonderful lady named Dar, who is the person who started the RHS Website. She mentored me in Web Design and encouraged me to start my own company, which I did. That's what I did while traveling and still do as well as my full time job. It's what I enjoy the most but it doesn't pay as much as my full time job so here I am back in Houston, working full time and still doing the web business.
