I have degrees from TCU (BA) and Sul Ross (MA). I taught social studies in Odessa at Crockett Jr High for eleven year and one year at Blackshear Jr High. I was assistant/vice/interm principal at Permian for 21 years. Sorry.
After retiring from the ECISD I was in the insurance business for 11 years. My wife owned an independent insurance agency in west Odessa and I worked with her for 11 years. I retired from the insurance in December of 2007 and have done little since although the declining stock market and slow economy has given me second thoughts.
These days I am mostly a taxi service for my kids and grandkids. I do find time to play golf once or twice a week--but not very good. I was a much better handball player. Played handball with Bobby Scott and Fred Gibson before their untimely passing. I don't thank they played nearly as much as I did.
Bobby was a good friend and coworker of my younger brother, Tookie. I didn't know Fred as well. They are both missed.
