Bill's Story
Life
Well I never went to W.W. Samuell in Dallas. If you're reading this Classmates won't take ME off that school's list BUT,AFTER GRADUATION FROM DE SOTO HI, I ENTERED THE ARMY AND SERVED FROM JUN 1973 TO MAR 1980. INCLUDING A TOUR AT FT. HOOD, TX AND THEN IN 1975 I WAS SELECTED TO BE IN THE HONOR GUARD OF THE ARMY IN WASHINGTON D.C., AND WORK WITH HIGH DIGNITARIES AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. I ALSO PERFORMED MILITARY FUNERALS AT ARLINGTON CEMETARY. I MARRIED IN AUG 1973 AND HAD A GIRL AND A BOY FROM THAT MARRIAGE BUT WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE ARMY IN 1980, I GOT A DIVORCE AND RAISED MY TWO KIDS ON MY OWN. I HAVE BEEN AN IRVING FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC SINCE JUNE 1981 AND WILL SOON PAST THE 30 YEARS OF SERVICE MARK. I REMARRIED IN 1983 AND HAD TWO MORE GIRLS FROM THAT MARRIAGE. WE MOVED FROM DESOTO IN 1996 TO OUR PRESENT HOUSE THAT WE BUILT OURSELVE...Expand for more
