Yes I do still exist; I think that is the correct term to use
I have been doing lots of things since I graduated in 54. Lets see.... .I knocked around for a while looking for work but as probably several of you, I couldn't find anything so I decided to join the Air Force. That was Oct. 54... Somehow I lucked out and got into the field of communications, which gave me the background for future careers. I decided to make the A.F. a career so I stayed in for 23 years. I spent 66, 68, and 70 in Southeast Asia (Vietnam). After returning to the states I spent my last 7 years at Offutt A.F.B. at Omaha Neb.
Finally I got a phone call for an interview. This led to a teaching career that lasted until just a few years ago. I was an electronics instructor at National Education Center. Hargest College, ITT Education Center and finally San Jacinto College, N campus. I lived at the same address as I had lived basically, ever since my folks moved to Channelview back in 1942.
My wife Connie and I have been married for 26 years now and have 4 young'uns our oldest son Mark is 31, (hers by previous marriage) our oldest Daughter is 30 (mine by previous marriage) our youngest daughter is 27(also hers) and finally OUR youngest son is now soon to be 25. We have several Grandkids but no greats.
I retired a few years ago and we are now living in Amarillo. We moved here about 3 years ago and to keep from dying of shear boredom. I am a substitute teacher at the local school district. Connie drives a School Bus for Amarillo.
I would surely like to be there for the reunion but my daughter is coming the 9th of June to visit with us. She resides in Tennessee and it has been a long while since she has last visited us. I don't want to miss that opportunity. Keep in touch with me and perhaps I can make the next reunion if you have any more.
After graduation from REL, I attended Lee College and worked at the Time Shop on Texas Ave. After my freshman year, I transferred to the University of Houston where I lived in the dorm, attended night school and worked full time for Tennessee Gas Transmission Co. Married in 1957 and now have three daughters and five grandchildren. We moved to California in 1961 and returned to Houston in 1967 to the Spring Branch area. We were self employed for 29 years and I worked in the office during this time, but still had the freedom to do other things as well as be at home when our daughters were. I returned to U of H and graduated in 1975 with a BA in Music. In 1990 I graduated from Houston Baptist University with a Masters in liberal arts. I also taught
music for Spring Branch ISD and was a music consultant for

2003 Update: Hopefully, this will find all of those who are ill, feeling much better. It saddens me to learn that so many have such serious illnesses. I will keep them in my prayers.
All is well from this direction and I keep busy. I do not know how I ever had the time to work, I sure do not get anything done now.
