Peggy Wilson Newport) (1957

I went Angelo State and graduated in 1962 with degrees in Physical Ed and Bio Science.
I also went to UTPB and graduated in 1995 with degrees in Soc. Studies and Phys.
I worked for ARCO Oil and Gas for 25 years until they sold to BP Oil Co.
(After that is when I went to UTPB). I went to work for Bass (BEPCO) in 1995 and they sold to Exxon Mobil and I am currently employed with Exxon Mobil and might be looking at retiring in a few years.
I did teach for a short time and enjoyed it. But the money was in the oil business.

I played volleyball under Coach Brown.
Had a lot of great friends and very memorable times.
The 50' were a great time. Met Elvis Presley when he can to Odessa in 1954 and in 1955. The tickets only cost a $1.00 (if bought at record store) but a $1.25 at the door. He was such a gentleman. The three girls I went with also met him and we had breakfast with him and his band (only 3 members) at the Club Café across the street from the courthouse.
