Maureen and I got married during the break
between T-37s & T-38s. We enjoyed 22 yrs. in the AF, and now 8 yrs.
of Delta Air Lines. We have three children--Leslie, 25, an LCSW
(counselor) in Pensacola; Greg, 23, who will graduate with a finance and
accounting degree in July from State Univ. of West GA., and Steve, 21, who is
a Jr. in engineering at GA Tech. We enjoy hobbies of snow skiing, golf,
racquetball, gardening, reading, and lace making. Maureen has worked as
an RN for 25 yrs. We were stationed at RAF Alconbury, UK; Kadena AB,
Japan, Indiana, California, Wash. D.C. and yes we did manage to come back to
Oklahoma for two more assignments! Although we lost track of a few of
the gang, we enjoyed running into Wayne Harris and Hal Davis in Okinawa, Dave
Lambert in Beale, CA., and Dale Higbee at the Lockheed Skunk Works at
Palmdale, CA. And now I occasionally see Gary Adkisson in the Atlanta
area. I flew KC-135s, B-707s, E-3A (AWACS), U-2/TR-1s, was an AWACS
squadron CC, the chief of USAF Counterdrug Operations in the Pentagon, and
went to National War College in Wash. D.C. before throwing in the towel.
I now fly as a high paid (wait we just took a huge pay cut!!) copilot for
Delta on International routes to Europe and South America. We live in
Peachtree City, GA (ATL 196/031) just 40 minutes south of Atlanta.
