Dewey "dub"'s Story
Life
Since leaving NLRHS (my Lord that seems to be an eternity/yesterday), I have worked for KARK as a cameraman/director, served 4 years in the Navy, went back to channel 4 for a while, went to work at Little Rock AFB, where I still am, now as foreman of HVAC/R shop.
While there I worked 10 years exclusively in support of the Titan II missile wing being involved as depot level repair for the air conditioning systems for the complexes. Got to make 5 trips to Vandenberg AFB, CA for the annual missile competitions.
In 1969 I married Melba, who has stuck with me through thick and thin for the past 37 years. We have two children, one in the local area and our daughter who lives in Leipers Fork, TN.
We have two beautiful grandchildren, Michael - 6 yrs old (Nana's boy)and Marissa-9months (Papaw's girl).
Currently in addition to our family obligations, we serve our church and Lord in many ...Expand for more
areas. I was ordained as a deacon in 1998 and have worked in just about every area of the church. Melba is there in the thick of things too. Serving as our Sunday School Secretary, Nursery coordinator, collecting information from everyone and telling me what needs to be done. Sound familiar (the telling that is) to anyone?
Update to the story--
October of 2007 I retired from Civil Service, figured 38 1/2 years was enough. Miss the people that I worked with, don't miss the headaches any what soever. Went to work for a construction company (that does not seem to make any sense does it??) as superintendent on a $425K construction project, got laid off waiting for the next one to start. Fun, fun. Helping the wife to care for our grand-daughter and two great-great nephews.[ages of the three are 4,2 &2] what are we completely nuts??? Got to be, but it helps the kids out some, so there we are.
