Cindy's Story

To any visitors from Furr High School, I am married to Jimmy Durham (class of '68)., you can contact him through my Classmates page. My cousins were Anita Hicks (Class of '70) & Janet Hicks (Class of '65). To any visitors from Galena Park, I was married to Doug Westerfield for 37 1/2 years. My story, hmmmmmm, let's start with all the schools I've attended. Cimmaron Elem., Mrs. Richardson (1st grade)& Roland P. Harris (a couple of months, 2nd grade) (both in Houston), Elisabet Ney Elem. (rest of 2nd grade) & A.P. Beutel, Mrs. Parker & Mrs. Cowan, (3rd & 4th grade)(both in Lake Jackson), O.A. Fleming Elem, Mrs. Beakley(?) (5th grade, Freeport, Tx.), Green Valley Elem. (6th grade)(Houston), North Jr. & Senior High (Houston). I became an Air Force wife in Summer 1969. Doug Westerfield was class of '68 at Galena Park. Stationed in Tennessee, Arkansas & Puerto Rico. Had our only child in April 1971. Moved back to Houston from Puerto Rico in October 1972. Worked various jobs here & there, Steak & Ale on I-10 & Mercury, (1974-1979), Real Estate agent at Stafford Real Estate on Hollypark (Houston), an extra in "Urban Cowboy" (great job), Amoco (Texas City), Shell (Pasadena), Craft's Etc., custom frame shop manager (Baytown). Lived in Channelview until May '84, then moved to Old River (outside of Mt. Belvieu). Lost Dad in '89 & Mom in '95. Have 3 Grandchildren. Crystal, Aaron & Courtney. Semi retired to East Texas in Dec.'97. Working at a bank in Center, Texas. Doug became sick in '04, diagnosed with cancer. Lost him in Jan. '07. Started seeing Bull (James Durham, Furr H.S., class of '68) later in '07, great guy, known him since '68. He was best man at mine & Doug's wedding & our daughter's godfather. We've moved 16 miles from where I was living, in Feb. '08. Living on Toledo Bend now. Enjoying life to the fullest. Bull taught me how to bass fish. Just need to figure out how to get them to bite. Will be buying myself a Harley-Davidson, hopefully within a year or when my truck sells. ANYONE NEED A TRUCK ('06 GMC Crew cab)? Hoping to retire at age 60 (1 year & 10 months to go). Then want to see the USA on 2 wheels. Found out in Nov.2009 that I'll be a great-grandma in June-July 2010. Well, in Jan. 2010, I had a heart cath & 2 stents put in. Recovered & still having fun (never too old for that). Found out that if I'm 60 & already recieving the s.s. widows pension, I can get married & still recieve the check (I won't lose it). Sooooo, in 2012, I'm getting married & retiring. If you have looked at my pictures, you've seen Bull. He's going to the reunion, too. Can't wait for everyone to meet him, GREAT GUY !!!!!!! Going to New Orleans in April for vacation. Got a great place to stay in the French Quarter. I haven't been there since Summer '64. He's never been there. Can't wait to go. Well, as of Sat., March 6, we are officially engaged. I GOT THE RING !!!!! (it's beautiful) Still looking at a 2012 wedding. 05/16/2010 - Had a great time in the Big Easy. Still didn't see everything. Going back again one of these days. Last Wednesday (May 12th), I'd had enough, told the bank that Friday was my last day. I'm unemployed (hooray). Got tired of getting screwed over. So I left. Wor...Expand for more
ked there 10 years & got passed over for promotions numerous times, kept on getting the run-around. A girl that got hired on the same time I did is head over the new branch, not fair. I have a lead on a job at an insurance company. The girls want me over there, they just have to convince the owner, I think they will. If not, oh well, I'll just retire. Ready to take it easy anyway. 06/04/10 Well, got a new job (not the insurance company). I'm working 5 miles from the house (no more 50 miles a day on my car). Working for Blackhawk Services, LLC. They are an up & coming oilfield service company. I'm an Admin. Assistant. LOVE IT !!!!!!!! I've got the place all to my self today. Making more than I did after 10 years at the bank. 06/17/2010 - Well, I'm a great-grandma, now. Trinity Alexandria was born on June 15, 2010 at 11:56 AM. She weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz. & was 19 inches long. I'll try to get pics of her posted as soon as I can. As of July 2010, I am retired. Oilfield company had cutbacks, including me & I don't care. It is so great to not have to wake up to an alarm every morning. Can save money on gas, clothes, make-up & eating out. Have about a year until we get married. I need to post some new pics. August 2010 - Yay, getting unemployment !!!!! Sept. 2010 - Bull needed a tax write-off. Started a hand-made jewelry company. We only set up at festivals & biker rallys. March 2011-Got a '09 Harley-Davidson Low Rider for my birthday. Having a ball on it. Still need to ride more & get a little more used to it. First thing I got for it was a windshield. 70 mph bugs are no fun. Went camping with my family. 4 generations in the great outdoors. Had a blast. Had so much fun, went 2 weeks later. May 2011-Went to the Pate Auto swap meet at Texas Motor Speedway. If you're a gearhead like me, you would love it. Acres & acres of car stuff & flea market junk. Takes about 3 days to see it all. Also went to Dallas Market Hall. Got some supplies for his tax write-off. Check out our facebook page, it's Catawba Creations Cindy. June 15, 2011-Greatgrandaughter turned 1.

Well, he had surgery, they got it. 10 lymph nodes tested positive. He starts chemo. July 2011-Had surgery on my lip. Skin cancer. That's what I get for surfin' & sunnin' in the '60's & 70's. Get the stitches out on Aug. July 10, 2011-My Father-in-law passed away this morning. He was a veteran of WWII & a great man. He will be missed by all who knew him. Sept. 2011-Got a Fifth wheel toy hauler. We can vacation with the Harley's now. Oct. 2011-Went to Branson for a short vacation. Saw just one show, SIX, these guys are great.
