Darryl's Story
Life
After graduating from OPHS, I graduated from FSU in marketing and started my career. Most of my worklife was spent in higher education and the aviation industry. I progressed rapidly and was a VP for corporate relations. Spent most of my time traveling the world developing partnerships and research ventures with aviation/aerospace firms and technological universities. I've seen most everywhere there is to see because I would usually add on some personal travel to most of my trips.
I stopped working and traveling 4 years ago to stay home and tend to my ailing wife and 16 yr. old daughter. I don't regret the decision but it didn't turn out the right way. My wife passed away.
I have 2 daughters. One (20) started FSU in the fall of '06 and the other(25) is completing her PhD in materials engineering at UF. Makes for interesting football seasons.

flective time. Thus, I started thinking about my wonderful high school days and the friendships I had.
Life has been a pretty good experience until recently and I feel fortunate. The scary part now is that I can go anywhere and do anything I want to do. There are too many options. After so many years of marriage, I'm having a little difficulty getting motivated to return to work. I don't have to financially, but I think I need to get involved in something where I can make a difference again. I'm sure time will help clear my head.
In the interim, I'm staying busy working on projects for my house, boating, golfing, traveling,spending time with friends, etc. Every day is a Saturday. I never figured I would be starting life over again so young. I'm anxious to see what my life will be like in a year or two.
I live in Ormond Beach, FL now but not sure where I'll wind up.
