Dan's Story
Life
I grew up in Lumberton, NC and attended Tanglewood Elementary. I hung out with Jeff Kinlaw, Buddy Livingston, Jeff Fleishman, Jay Stone, Jan McCorkle, Marsha Edwards, Gerry Lindsey, Lyn and Grover Soesbee, and Myron Britt. I was best friends with all of them plus Steve Thorndyke and Larry Park. My dad's job moved us to Wilmington, NC in 1965 but I still have family there and visit very often. I am Susan Helgren Allen and Ikey Helgren's cousin. My dad was Doug Helgren who worked for Southern Bell for 26 years. I got married to Patsy Hyatt on September 2, 1973. My son, Michael was born on November 1, 1988. Patsy and I were divorced on August 14, 1993. My 2nd wife, Colleen Rynders, and I have 2 cats, 1 tuxedo and 1 tabby. I have one son, Michael, who lives with his mom, formerly Patsy Hyatt now Porter after our divorce in 1993. I am living in Casa Grande, AZ. We moved out here in November of 2003 on a transfer with Mesa Airlines from Charlotte, NC, where I was a Stores Clerk there for 2 years. I have been with Mesa Airlines for 5 1/2 years and loving every minute of it. We have a trailer on 1/3 of an acre on the outskirts of C...Expand for more
asa Grande and love it out here. We get to see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that come up over the mountains and desert in the distance plus we have bunny rabbits that run through our yard on occasion. I now work with Triumph Logistics, an aircraft parts broker here in Phoenix, AZ.
School
My biggest crushes in school was Lee Ellen Gaylor, Jan McCorkle, and Cheryl Daniels. All of my teachers were an inspiration to me and encouraged me to go and do the best that I could and go as far as I could. If I had it to do all over again I would study harder to make better grades and aspire to go further in school. Even though I graduated at John T Hoggard High in Wilmington, NC, I went to school with a lot of the people in Lumberton at Tanglewood Elementary and haven't forgot you. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Jan McCorkle, because She was always my first crush..
Workplace
I am a material handler at Triumph Logistics in Phoenix,AZ but worked for 5 3/4 years at Mesa Airlines (US Airways Express) in Charlotte, NC and Phoenix, AZ. I worked with Climate control/McQuay refrigeration for 12 years 5 months.
