Hi Friends. I just keep on working, although I am retiring from the U.S. Air Force Reserves on July 12, 2009 after 32 years of cumulative service including 8 years active duty. I began after graduating from college at Tennessee Tech in 1972 during the Viet Nam War and have served three tours in the Middle east during The Global War on Terror earning the Meritorious Svc. award for Valor. I am now a Police Sgt. with the Longview (TX) Police Dept. (Day Watch Supv.) and Commander of the Longview Police Dept. Honor Guard (that's what I get for being a military man). I am active in the Gregg County (TX) Republican Association and Sgt.-at- Arms for the Longview Rotary Club. |

School Story: |
|
After graduating from Lee in '68 I went to Tennessee Tech Univ. where I competed in track and graduated in 1972. I went back to school and obtained a degree in Emergency Medical Technology from DeKalb College (Ga) and am currently pursuing a master's in Political Science. In fact when I retire from the Longview Police Dept., I have entertained the thought of going to Law School.
Earned Black Belt, Isshin Ryu Karate, Kickboxer. No longer do I have the "Buddy Holley look" Ha! Flowing black hair now and no glasses. Some folks say I look younger now than I ever have (convince my body of that!). |
