Personal Information: When the Lord decided it was time for me to get married, He
gave me the best He had to offer. I married my wonderful wife Linda (Vidor, '73) in 1975.
We had met while I was working as a police officer for the city of Vidor. We have two
beautiful daughters, Jill (age 14) and Shannon (age 13), both of whom were adopted as
infants, right out of the hospital. We had moved to Dallas in 1981, but transfers resulted
in moves to Santa Fe, Hobbs, and Raton, New Mexico, and back to Cleveland, Texas over the
next dozen years. In 1994 we had the opportunity to move back to the Dallas area and jumped at
it. We have lived in Allen ever since. I work for Countrywide Home Loans in Plano as a
compliance specialist; Linda is a secretary at the local middle school. Like many parents of
young children, our lives seem to revolve around work and Girl Scouts, along with school
and church activities. Spare time (what's that?) usually finds me "piddling" in
the garage or yard. Always glad to hear from anyone. Date Updated - March 30, 2005

Michael Brandon...not a junior. They put me to pasture early
unfortunately, not to stud. Had a pretty good heart attack: the gift
that keeps giving and caused some degradation of injuries I got from
Uncle Sam.
I found it really enjoyable to see old friends here. Ricky, who I had no
idea was named "Enrique," Marvin, Brian Small out there digging up
bones. I hope he doesn't find any I left! Obie, my sincerest condolences
to you. Toni Wilson, who I used to see often but didn't talk much with (
I think she got mad at me?). Marvin Kyburz and Junior Henry: Now there's
a wrecking crew.
As with Toni, Karen, Rene and the rest of the ladies from the West
Orange class of '75, it's a shamed men don't mature as fast as
women...or better to say "get as smart as fast!" Y'all were and are
truly the best. Of everything!
I hesitated logging in here because I didn't graduate, at least not at
West Orange. It took me a little longer and by not graduating have
always felt it was wrong to stay I did or participate in class
functions. Reading the names here, these are all people I know and
love and didn't have the sense as a knot headed kid to realize and value
it. I had to say hello. For the nice stroll down memory lane, I thank
you... Date Posted - May 14, 2007
