David's Story

My Rebecca died January 4, 2013. She had fought terminal cancer very bravely for the last two years. She was and is the love of my life! I miss her terribly! I took early retirement to take care of Becky. I am now single. Got together with Becky Pryor through Classmates. We were still in love! Married Rebecca April 7, 2009. We were Very Happy! Graduated from Missouri Valley College in 1973 with a B.S. in mathematics after I was the Marco Polo of college football (four schools the first two years, kept looking for a coach as good as Dan Stanley, Jim Jarvis, and Larry Burkhardt). I have two children - Scott, 34 and Elizabeth, 32. Taught high school math and coached football/track/wrestling for 7 years at North Kansas City, MO, Piper, KS, and Kearney, MO high schools. For 30 years, I've worked as a civilian mathematician for the US Army at Fort Leavenworth. I worked with computerized war games.

back (thought I was still 17!). I still try to weight train as much as my back will allow (not much). Completed a Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering from Kansas State University in 1994. Both children are now married and attended Kansas University - Liz graduated in 2004. She is now an administrative assistant in the Chemistry Department at KU. Scott is the hardware and software engineer at Sprint in Overland Park. My biggest surprise is that I worked for the Army for 30 years. I retired to take care of Rebecca during her last days. If the pay had been the same, I would have taught and coached. Rebecca had two sons from a previous marriage - Jack and Sean. I am very close to Sean. He lives in Waldo and works for FEDEX/Kinkos as their software/hardware guy for Kansas and Western Missouri. Jack works for some intelligence agency doing something out of Washington, DC. He is over-seas a lot. I am enjoying retirement. I just hope my friends remember me!
