After graduating, I attended North Texas State on a full track scholarship. After graduating from there, I went on to teach in the Corpus Christi area, then back to Wichita Falls. After ten years there, I got a teaching/coaching job in New Braunfels. Next on to Amarillo. I retired from the Texas School system in 1996 and moved to Silver City, NM and started teaching and coaching in the Lordsburg School District. We then moved to Rio Rancho NM where I finished teaching at Rio Rancho High School. In between, I was manager for the Rio Rancho Boys and Girls Club. I retired in 2006. I decided to ride a bike (recumbent trike) cross country. On the 10th day of my trip west, I was hit by a car. It took me a year to get over my wounds. Then I decided to head east on a new trike. I made it to Savannah GA where I stayed with John Tatum and his wife. They were great hosts. A few years later, my wife, Cheryl (Simpson) became ill with colon cancer. She passed away in 2010. Three years later, I married Lorriane. We started full time RVing for seven years. We finally settled down in Tucson AZ. After a couple of years we decided to move to a retirement community. This will probabliy be our last move.
