Nine months later we began an exciting military career with assignments at San Antonio, Big Spring, Sherman, Burkburnett and College Station, TX. We also lived at Bainbridge, GA; Stead AB, NV; Williams AFB, AZ; McGuire AFB, NJ; and Torrejon AB, Spain.
Our less wonderful assignments included two unaccompanied tours to Korea and one to Viet Nam.
Our daughters, Kathy, Mary and Susan all graduated from Burkburnett H.S., TX and attended college at West Florida State University, Texas Tech University and Texas A&M University. We are pleased to say that we have three very fine sons-in-law, seven grand children and a brand new great-grandson who just arrived April 18, 2004.
I retired from the American Red Cross Blood Services in 1997, and Tom began his retirement in 1996. We love living in College Station, TX, where we enjoy country living, activities at the university (TAMU) and most of all getting to be with our children and their families.
Guess that about wraps it up for me. I look forward to seeing everyone at the 50th.
