After high school I went to OSU, then to the National Guard.  I met Nancy Andrews, a friend of Dianne Meaker, in the summer of 1962.  She went to Australia in September of 62, and returned to Pampa in December, and we were married on December 8, 1962.  We will celebrate our 41st anniversary in December. 

Nancy & I moved to Borger in August 1964.  I worked for Jerrie Keith Company for 20 years doing sheet metal work.  When business got slow I went to work for Phillips Petroleum Co.  I retired from Phillips on May 1, 2002 and am loving every minute of retirement. 

Nancy & I have one son, Shannon.  He is married to a wonderful girl, Michelle.  They have blessed us with three wonderful grandsons, Jared 6, Ben 4, & Jacob 2.  They are the delight of Mimi & Pops’ life.  Shannon & his family live in Fritch; Shannon works for Phillips and Michelle is a stay-at-home Mom.  She plans to go back to work when Jacob gets in school. 

When Shannon was in the third grade I started coaching third & fourth grade youth football.  This is my 29^th year as coach of the Eagles.  I hope that I have made a difference in their lives over the years.  I had planned to coach my grandsons, but they live in Fritch and are Fritch Eagles.  I am going to retire from coaching next year with thirty years, as I can’t coach against my grandsons. So Nancy & I will be Eagle fans, changing our colors from Green to Blue and supporting our boys and their teams and sports that they play.  Just like we did when Shannon got to be a bulldog, we went from green & gold to red & white. 

As I stated I love my retirement, it has enabled me to do things that I want & need to do.  Nancy still works.  Her health has not been good this last year as she had to have triple by-pass surgery in November.  She is on the road to recovery but has good & bad days.  I don’t know how much longer she will work. 

Nancy & I are active in our church and also in Emmaus. I just thank God everyday for all the blessings that He gives us each day.
