Since my retirement in 1992 I have lived in the house where I was reared on the 80 acre farm that my grandfather sold to me after he passed away. I have completely restored and added to the house, torn down two old barns and built a shop. I farm the hay crop which I sell to a neighbor. I have owned and operated a lawn care business for ten years, driven a schoolbus for fourteen years, been a bus mechanic for three years and husband of my childhood sweetheart for sixteen years. In 2000 I was asked to Pastor a newly reopened church in a nearby county, while there I was ordained as a minister in the Christian Faith. I am active with my local Masonic Lodge, local church. and various civic and community activities.
My wife, Wanda and I share four children. She has three, a son and two daughters and I have one daughter. Together we enjoy and love ten wonderful grandchildren. The oldest is eighteen and the youngest is one year
We plan to retire again in 2009 in order to draw social security and spend time with our kids.
Retire we did and are loving it. We purchased a new travel trailer last fall. We plan to enjoy it as much as possible. I did go back to work partime as a court security officer. I am also starting a Concealed Weapons school since I became qualed as an instructor
Best Moment Being allowed to study the course I wanted and GRADUATING. The course was "Sanitary Waste Water Treatment". They let me take it because I convinced the Department head that Jet Engines caused pollution and that related to the degree
Worst Moment Not Graduating with honors but it didn't matter. I still got my degree, went to P3 Flight Engineers school and was selected for Chief from the first selection board
Chain of Command Didn't answer to anyone very important
Other Memories Mrs. Virginia Eleazor, my Micro Biology teacher. She did her best to teach us what we needed to know. Thanks
