STEVEN SMITH

After graduation, I got an aviation maintenance degree from TTC. I joined the Navy and got a free tour of the Persian Gulf and southeast asia. I had some fun times, but came back home and started college looking for what to do next. I found my calling in being a police officer. Working here in town has provided me with many opportunities to run into some familiar faces. Some good and some bad. I often ran into Mr. Stout in QT at 5 a.m. before he left for Arkansas.

I really love what I do now. I worked with the school system for 2 years and got to see lots of my former teachers still working away.

I discovered my wife while attending NSU. I had fallen in love before I found out that she graduated from Union. (For some of us that was a big deal) We have three great kids and just found out that baby #4 is on the way.

It amazing that 20 years has just flown by.
