Edwin's Story
School
I had a good time at THS. I had to transfer back to THS after spending 2 years at Davidson. (My dad preferred I go there as long as we had freedom of choice.) But when that freedom ended, I came back to Theodore. Because of the THS rivalry with Davidson, I found it hard to try to play football at Theodore, so I joined ROTC. Guess things went pretty well for me there. During those last two years of school, I had lots of crushes, and lot of friends and a lot of fun. I thank everyone for making my high school years such a positive experience. I was kind of quiet and shy, to a degree, but you guys all made me feel like I was OK...for that I thank you. With a pretty rough home life....my school friends and my church friends were my refuge. Later things got better at home...then I was a realy blessed with family AND friends like you.
Workplace
After high school I went to USA for a year, then I entered the USAF where I served ...Expand for more
in Japan and Taiwan in the area of military intellegence. I then attedended Memphis State University, then Mobile College where I graduated. I became a minister of music in Irvington, and Grand Bay. THen I went to get my master's degree in Ft Worth Tx, before moving back to Panama City, and ending up now in Mt Olive, AL. I've been doing the same work for 34 years and enjoy every minute of it. I never thought I'd end up doing what I'm doing, but I God had a plan...and I decided to follow it. I don't see how I could be happier.
Family
I have 4 children, 2 married with 5 grandchildren, and 2 children still at home. My wife is a high school art teacher here in Jefferson County, AL...We've been married since June of 1975. She deserves some kind of award. We have lived in Taipei, Tawan; Mobile; Grand Bay, Eclectic, AL; Fort Worth, TX; Panama City, FL; Lumberton, NC, and now near Birmingham, AL. I welcome any contacts, visits, etc.
