I joined the US army security agency in 1959 and spent time in Ethiopia.  I met King Haille Selassie, the last known king of Solomon descent (nicknamed Lion of Judah).

Discharged in 1962, I met Linda, got married in Pampa and went to work for Southwestern Public Service Company.  I commuted to Canyon and received a BS degree from West Texas State University.

In 1968 I went to work for SPS in the marketing department in Amarillo, but then we moved back to Pampa and lived there from 1969 until 1981.  In my role as a dad, I have coached football, baseball and basketball and was my son's biggest fan in sports.  My daughter was a ballet dancer who danced in the play "Texas".

We moved to Portales, New Mexico in 1981 where I was the local manager, then to Carlsbad in 1986 as the district manager.  I enjoyed my work and social life very much until a merger caused me to retire in 1997 with 34 years of service.  In 1998 we moved back to Amarillo.

I have enjoyed playing golf, participating in church activities, and employment at the golf course (can't call it work) and am renewing old friendships around the Texas Panhandle.

My spouse retired from home interiors in 2003 after 20 years of employment.
