John C Gauthier
Class of 1977
Marine Corps, 20+ Years
25 1/2 years as a wandering warrior. Finally retired in 2006 as a Colonel of Infantry. Had a chance to work in 37 countries and live in the Middle East for two years with my family. Was taught how to scale cliffs, SCUBA, parachute, dodge bullets and bombs...taught me to be humble over my successes (a few), resilient over my failures (a lot)…and most importantly the value of family and home.
