David Wall:  

Life After high school graduation in 1961, I married Janie Smith and attended Murray Junior College in Tishomingo, transferring to OSU in 1963, and graduating 26 May 1965. My grades were so outstanding, I found out I would graduate at 5 PM on 24 May! After two months as an assistant district forester for Dierks, I entered the Air Force in August. After nearly 18 months in Maine (two winters, Brrrrrrrr), it was off to Monkey Mountain in May 1967, perhaps the safest place to be in all of Viet Nam.

She taught school, becoming a national award winning journalism teacher, while I became a computer security consultant and later, a LAN Manager. Nancy was diagnosed with cancer in October of 1999, and after a valiant fight, she died 17 June 2000, ending a 31 year marriage. In June 2001, Idabel high school classmate Sue Voyles-Warren arranged for Norma Voyles-Lee (Class of 1959) and I to begin sending e-mails to each other. (Her husband died in November of 1999.) In mid-March 2002, we realized we were way beyond friendship, became engaged, and were married May 26, 200...Expand for more
