I followed my dad into the phone company and after working in San Antonio, Midland, Lubbock, and Garland TX, I retired in 2018 after 45 years of service. My last 19 years were spent outsourced by AT&T to 7-Eleven, as their Telcom Manager. My wife Karen is from Wilson and we met in the Ŧech marching band and married June 16, 1973. She was a much better sax player than me. Our daughter Paula’s family lives in Sierra Vista AZ. I’m currently battling my fourth cancer and hope to be in remission soon.
