David's Story
Living and working in Dallas, Texas since 1992. My wife Betsy and I moved out here after finishing up at the UofA with a BS and MS in 1985. Stayed here until 1987, moved to Lafayette, LA for 4 years, then off to Houston for 1 year and back to Dallas. Two sons, 25 and 22 working and in college. I work as an oil and gas reserves auditor/estimator for a consulting firm. I mostly work on fields in Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Travel fairly frequently but not too much. Bouncing back from the jet lag isn't quite as easy as it used to be.....
We bought a small ranch in 2009 and that occupies most weeken...Expand for more
ds. There's always something to fix or mow or look after but it's fun. The plan for retirement is sell enough calves every year to pay the bills. We'll see how that goes. In late 2012 we "adopted" another donkey. Isabel is twice as big as Cochise and quite a character.
In 2012 we bought a building that was part of an 1885 hotel and Betsy has a part-time antique/estate sale/etc shop. It's been interesting and we happened on to it a little sooner than we had planned, but the opportunity was there. She buys the stuff here in the Dallas area and I get to haul it to Henrietta. Woo-hoo.
Best to everyone from class of 1978.
