Barry's Story
Barry's schools include Zavala Elementary, Ector Jr/Sr High School all in Odessa, TX and Wichita HS South, Wichita KS where I graduated 01-27-67. While I had to transfer to Kansas - my best years were in Odessa and was heartbroken to leave all my friends and the Class of "67 behind!!! (FYI: Older brother is Guy Hastings - EHS Class of '65)
After HS graduation, went to SWTS in San Marcos, TX for a year - got bored then enlisted in the Army for 4 years. Was in the Army Security Agency - CID and spent tours of duty in Asmara, Ethiopia; Cu Chi, Vietnam; and Clark AFB, Philippines - finally going to Ft Hood, TX as final duty/discharge as SP5.
Went to Austin, worked for my Dad, met and married the love of my life Pam (12-18-75), went to St Edwards Univ. (got bored agai...Expand for more
n) We moved to Sanford, FL in 1978 and have been here ever since - although my world totally collapsed when Pam passed away (06-17-12) after a valiant and courageous battle with lung cancer.
We never had children, so no kids or grand-kids to brag about. We both worked in Administration of our local County government for 20yrs-me/30yrs Pam and both retired. It was only 4 mos. after Pam retired that her cancer was discovered and died only 18mos. after that - she never got to enjoy retirement!
Still assessing what to do, as still trying to adjust to not sharing/making decisions with Pam after 36-1/2 yrs of togetherness, never being separated.
Sorry for the rambling. I do wish all of you and your families all to best as we all age gracefully???
