Robert J Rushton

Robert joined the Army right out of high school. He became an X ray technician and served as such in several different installations: Germany, Hawaii, Valley Forge, and Philadelphia. He served 20 years . When he retired he stayed with his last post at the Defense Personal Support Center until he again retired . Both he and his late wife Marian enjoyed traveling and that they did . River boat cruises with friends Pat and Mike Martino enriched retirement years. The best trip according to Bob was the Alaskan tour. Back in National Park he spent time at the Army Navy Union Garrison playing pinochle, shuffleboard and pool. Other haunts were the American Legion Post 133 in Woodbury and VFW 125 in Verga.
Bob met Marian when he reported to the commanding officer, her boss in Wilkes Barre, PA. Their family expanded to include 2 daughters, Carolyn ( Mike) Fitzgerald of Logan Twp. And Cait Rushton of Ft. Collins, Colorado, and eventually grandchildren, Cathlin and Daniel Fitzgerald who babysitting for was never a chore.
