knew darned few of you, and remember even fewer. As for me, 'All good things come in time... ' I have had a rather rough go of it after several failed marriages. I have no children of my own, but helped raise a few step children. After serving in the Marines, and spending numerous years ranching and working as a Farrier I am now on my second Tour in the Army. The first tour I did just over 7 yrs, finishing as an NCO (non-Commissioned Officer) in DEC 2000. I then decided to persue the Army Chaplaincy program, and am now an Orthodox Priest (Western Rite) where beginning in 2007 I finally became a Chaplain. It is the perfect fit, as it helps me to keep my focus off myself and on those who really deserve it. I am privelaged to serve our young Soldiers and Marines, and have Deployed Kosovo, SWA, and most recently to Afghanistan (OEF) in 2013. Thanks, and God Bless. Chaplain (CPT) Troy L Allison+

I only attended Sheridan High for one semester of my final year, getting an early graduation in DEC-1978, w/Commencement in 1979. Before that I was over terrorizing the High School at Meeteetsie, WY. My SR Year at Sheridan High I went through 5 or 6 girlfriends, attended darn few classes... chewed Copenhagen in class, wore my spurs nearly every day; and despite School rules, I wore my Hat in the halls, drank a lot and was generally a bad example of what a ranch Cowboy should be. What can I say, I was 5'6", 125lbs of insecurity... ? My black 1946 Chevy Truck always had half a case of beer and a bottle of Whiskey hidden under the hay-bales stacked in the bed; Which is why I kept the Stock-racks on, and a saddle cinched up on top (to distract). Truth was, every one in the Cowboy crowd knew who to see to get a pinch of Copenhagen, or a stiff drink at lunchtime. They just looked for the skinny little Cowboy strutting around in the Pink shirt and the big black Hat surrounded by a group of girls. Growing up came long and hard for me, but through the grace of God I may just make it yet...
