Michael Murray

I played around with college from 1989-1990.
I joined active duty USAF in 1992; where I had a big conversion in my life in 1994 while overseas.
In 1996, I separated form Active duty, joined the AF Reserves, got married and started serious study in college with many thanks to the GI Bill.
In 2002, after some challenging years, I graduated from OSU.
In 2003, I accepted an engineering job in a high profile program in Texas.
In 2007, we moved to a bigger house in Fort Worth.
In 2009, I transferred to a commission in the Navy Reserve
Update 2021: I am retired military and back in Oklahoma. I have young onset Parkinson’s disease, and I am working full time. The decade between 2010 through 2020 was a rough one. I lived in Maryland for three years working on a Navy project. As a family, it was better to move back to the Midwest. Thankfully we all survived COVID-19. I look at life differently now. I can always tell you my story if you are interested.d in
2025' still in OKC, memories are returning and I now realize i stayed in a safe
shell and rarely let loose in the high school years. no wonder i was not happy. Now, I have fought serious battles externally and internally. I am stilll walking and tslking and I returned to a military contract; which is where i thrive. Many things could have taken my life and I ache to see those who died. Everyday is a blessing, even though I have PD.

I kept pretty busy with band, going to Vo-Tech in Tulsa, and working part-time at El Chico. When some of us drove back from the school in Tulsa back to Broken Arrow, we would race like maniacs down highway 51.I kept pretty quiet in the big high school crowd, but my best memories are probably the band contests we went to, the football games, and the champions we made of ourselves by working hard together.
