Sometimes I feel old, I don't know how you should feel at 58 but there are probably people that feel more energetic than I do that are much older. I walk a lot but still get exhausted quick. Sometimes I think somebody yanked 10 years out from under me. I shouldn't be this old already.

I saw Joe Boren sometimes when he lived in Marshall but I haven't heard anything from him since he left Marshall. I was going back to Sherman frequently and hardly ever saw anybody I went to school with. My mother has been living with us 2 years so I don't go to Sherman very often now.

I was in Louisville, Kentucky for about 2 months.

Canada, Mexico, Jamaica

Previously worked as processing control analyst, production foreman, life insurance sales (I had to learn how to talk to do that), staff manager, inspector at a steel mill, retail assistant manager, lab tech at an army ammunition plant and at an environmental lab, other positions at the ammunition plant, worked at an automobile parts warehouse, substitute teacher, and a few others. I was in Athens, Texas for a few months in 1989. I went back to school in 1994 for a short time and took some computer classes. In 2006 I got my A license in wastewater technology. Not exactly an exciting field but they don't have lay-offs. Except for the short time in Athens, I have been in Jefferson since December of 1975.
