Tony Schrier I was born in 1944, the last winter of World War II in the Netherlands. We spent that winter hungry since the Germans keep all the food for themselves. In 1950, my Dad was trying to improve his work situation and looked for opportunities elsewhere since work was hard to come by and he had lost his business. He ended up working for the US corps of engineers in Maroc, which at that time was a French colony. �Finally, in 1951, the decision was made for Mom, my brother and I go to Maroc. In 1958, the US military was starting to pull out of Maroc, my parents had to make a decision on where to go. Several friends of theirs over the years had been encouraging them to go the USA. The decision was made to do that and the family applied for visas and moved to the USA in 1959. The destination was Las Vegas, Nevada. I was enrolled in Gorman High School even though I never graduated from grade school. I was quite concerned that I would not cope well with High School, but that proved to be of no concern. When registering for school I was informed that I had to take a foreign language. I responded that English is a foreign language, but that was not an option. At that time, Dutch was my native language and French, Arabic and English were secondary. The decision during my senior year is what next! The idea of becoming an attorney was still strong so I chose a college that also had a law school. Somehow, I decided that I would continue with the Catholic schooling that left me with two schools to consider both Jesuits Universities. The University of San Francisco ended up being my choice. When I left school the US government decided that I should go into the US Army in 1965. During that period I managed to go to Fort Polk, LA, then Fort Bliss, TX, followed by Vietnam and for closing Germany. Upon return to the US in 1970, I started my career in the Banking/Finance where I met Anne, who worked for the company attorney. That relationship ended up in a wedding on November 27th 1971. After 27 years of being a bachelor, I was married to Anne and had an immediate family of four; Anne had 2 children from her prior marriage. That career ended up taking the family to Utah, Colorado, Texas, Minnesota, Illinois and Pennsylvania. From there we retired to Bayfield in 1999 and had our retirement home built. But in 2000 I was made an offer to go back to work in Texas which lasted till 2008 when I retired for good. Then I got involved with the Pine River Valley Historical Society and the American Legion post to occupy my time when I am not doing something with my stamp collections.
