David Creal (Cobbler '77)

After high school I attended Black Hills State College, graduating in 1981. I then moved to Philip, SD where I was the hospital administrator, then on to Winner, SD where I was a nursing home administrator, then to Bridgeport, NE where I was a nursing home administrator, finally to Omaha where I ran the operations of a corporate nursing home chain before I became vice president of Right at Home which is a home care franchise company.

I have been married 27 years to Deb, and have a 24 year old daughter Melissa, and a 20 year old son Chris.

I love to golf, play racquetball, and just took up running. I also enjoy attending sporting events and watching my son run cross country and track in college.

I don't get back to Rapid City very often and only attended the 10 year reunion of my class (77).

There is much about high school that I don't remember. Probably some of the most fun I had were the bus trips to and from track meets. If only the coaches knew some of the things that were going on in the back of the bus!

Even though I was in the class of 1977, I had many friends in the class of 79. You know who you are!
