1966

Today

text: So much has happened since 1966. As some of you may know I enlisted in the Air Force before graduation. After I got out of the Air Force I lived in Akron for awhile and then moved to Dayton, Ohio. In 1972 I joined the Army National Guard and was in aviation as a crew member on light obseervation helicopters.

In civilian life I tried several different jobs from construction, plastics factory, fire department dispatcher, paramedic, and operations for the airlines. It was with the airlines that brought me to Texas in 1983. The airline I worked for with deregulation finally went belly up so I went in the medical field and became a Respiratory Therapist.

I lived in the Dallas Ft. Worth area untill 4 years ago when my wife and I finally moved to the country about 50 miles southwest of Ft. Worth. We live on a 3 1/2 acre mini ranch midway between Granbury and Lipan (pop. 345). We have 2 horses, 3 cats, and 12 dogs. My wife and I do volunteer work with an animal rescue group for homeless and abused dogs. We love it here.....

My wife works for Kroger (grocery store) in Granbury, and I work for Glen Rose Medical Center in Glen Rose.

Would like to say Hi to everyone and wish you all well...and god Bless.

Feel free to e-mail us and if you get down this way come and visit.

Well, I moved to Texas in 1983 and love it here. I have a home near a small country town Southwest of Ft. Worth. Its on 3 1/2 acres. We have a horse and a donkey, and some dogs.

After graduation I went in the Air Force and was stationed in MacDill AFB, Fla and Rome Ciampino, Italy and Ramstein, Germany. After getting out of the Air Force a couple of years later I went in the Army National Guard, as a aeroscout observer on teh OH58 helicopter. At that time was also working for a cargo airline in Dayton.

We moved to Texas for a job as Administrator Flight Operations for another cargo airline. After that company sold and went out of business I decided to try the medical field and went to school to become a Respiratory Therapist. I really enjoy my job and have been doing it for over 16 years now.

So many things have happened since 1966 to all of us. This web site is wonderful and brings back so many memories. Stay in touch everyone.
