Elijah's Story
Life
I recently moved from Virginia to Texas, Married with 10 children, 14 grandchildren and 4 great grandchild. I am originally from Bastrop, Texas. I graduated from PVA&M in 1969 and shortly thereafter I worked for Ling Tempco Vought Aerospace as an Aerospace Design Engineer on the A7-D & A7-E Fighter Jets used in the Vietnam War. Also, I worked for the Federal Aviation Administration for 16 years as a Engineering & Project Manager.
I am a pilot and previously owned an airline, engineering, and a non-profit aviation firm. I am now 68 years old and enjoying retirement life to the fullness with family, friends, and business associates. I love to fish, play golf, and visit family and friends.
My wife is a great wife, mother, friend, supporter, and the love of my life. She has always encouraged me to ...Expand for more
go for the Gusto. She is a Minister and has Spiritual desire of becoming a traveling Religious Teacher. We both graduated from the Seminary and serve together in our Church marriage and divorce care ministries. My wife is a graduate from the University of Texas (Not a Historical Black College/University HBCU). She is marvel at the great experience I had at PVA&M and often wish she had attended a HBCU.
Although I am retired, I plan to continue to work until I am no longer above ground, however at a moderate pace. I am currently working to help the Motherland (AFRICA) and the Caribbean to improve their Aviation Infrastructure.
I hope to attend 50th class reunions, Saturday, October 24, 2015, so I can reunite and fellowship with my classmates. I am Blessed and I hope you are the same. <:)Dr. Elijah Jackson
