Comments:

After high school, I went to Memphis State University for 2 years before enrolling in West Tennessee Business School. Learned more there in 9 months than I did in 2 years at MSU. From there I went to work in Juvenile Probation Department. Low pay made me move to Memphis where I spent 7 years working in the municipal bond business. In 1975, I joined the Air Force, served 10 years at Sheppard AFB, Texas; Little Rock AFB, Arkansas; Ramstein, Germany; and Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. When I separated, that is where I stayed. Went to work as a government service worker, ending up as the Natural and Cultural Resources Manager for the base. Since I retired, I have simply enjoyed living life on my own terms, answering to no one but myself.

School Story:

I was an Army brat, as were so many others in the class. Transferred for my senior year from Frankfurt American High School. It wasn't so bad, because my best friend, Margit Davis (Ashley) transferred too. The class was huge! But it seemed like home in no time. Made a lot of memories I keep with me even today.
