Hi
my name is Ruby Phillips I attended RHHS. And I graduated in 1978. However
when I attended RHHS. My name was Roger Sola. This is a short version of what I
did after graduation. I was offered a scholarship to Bristol Virginia which I
didn't go to. Two days before I was suppose to go off to college I joined the
Navy. Trying to be that man that everyone wanted me to be. I lasted two years
in the navy became a Hospital Corpsman. And I was discharged from the Navy
after informing them that I was going to have a sex change operation. Upon
leaving the Navy I met this guy who also was in the navy and at the age of 20
and now a woman I got married. I was married for 5 years. While I was married
I attended Norfolk College got a degree in Computers and I also went
to Cosmetology School and became a licensed Cosmetologist. After divorcing my
husband I moved to Washington, DC. I went back to school and I got another
degree in travel and tourism. I did some modeling and touring the US. I felt I
needed a change of pace so in 1989 I moved to San Diego, CA and here I got back
into nursing. It's funny I have done so many things in my life this is just a
short version I have enough information to fill a book and it would make a very
interesting one at that. I have made a good life for my self I have enough
money to life comfortably and at my young age I can afford the luxury of being
able to be retired. I have good memories and bad of RHHS. If anyone out there
would like know more please feel free to drop me a line. I also have a 1978
yearbook in mint condition and may pictures of RHHS. .
