Andy's Story
Life
After graduating from WFHS, I attended Austin College in Sherman where I graduated with a BA in Psychology and Partyology. Psychology is where everyone ends up who don't know what they want to do with their life. After a short stint at a UTA grad school (I hated it there), I quit and went to work for Lincoln Property in Dallas doing apartment maintenance. I got hired on at Gulf Insurance in Dallas where I stayed for 7 years ending up as an assistant manager over about 20 people in the billing and receivables department. While with Gulf , I started going back to grad school at the University of Dallas (I have this thing about small, private (ie. expensive) schools) and ended up with a Masters degree in Business Administration in 1981. The company that owned the company that owned Gulf insurance had forced layoffs and I moved on to Mitsubishi Electric Sales America where I stayed for about 5 years ending up the branch manager responsible for all sales, administration, and warehousing.

Having had enough of corporate BS to last a lifetime, I dropped out of productive society and moved to Rice, Texas, where I have now lived for the last 7 years. I bought a small wholesale nursery selling bedding plants and small perennials to about 25 area independent Nurseries and Garden centers.
I got married back in 1983 to Lynn Canty from Dallas and have been now for some 23 years. She has a real job that pays real money unlike me. I have one child, an 11 year old boy, Matthew Austin Saxon who is the greatest kid in the world ( I know some of you may disagree with that). For those of you who knew my family, my mother passed away 3 years ago, but my father and brother still live in WF.
There you have it--52 years of life summed up in 400 words or less, and I never did fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a fireman. Se la vie (is that spelled right? I never took French)
