James's Story
THINGS CHANGE AFTER 40 YEARS, DON'T THEY? DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN FORCED INTO RETIREMENT. I HAVE LIVED IN THE SMALL COMMUNITY OF BROWNSBORO, TEXAS FOR THE PAST 19 YEARS. I WORKED AS A MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIST FOR OVER 32 YEARS IN HOSPITALS ALL OVER EAST TEXAS. I SPENT MY LAST NINE YEARS AT MOTHER FRANCES HOSPITAL IN TYLER, TEXAS AND 13.5 YEARS AT ETMC-ATHENS IN ATHENS, TEXAS. I WAS MARRIED FOR NINE YEARS, DIVORCED AND STAYED SINGLE ALMOST 5 YEARS. I REMARRIED A WONDERFUL LADY, PAM, AND WE ARE ON OUR 24TH YEAR. I HAVE A STEPSON ROD, 39 AND A STEPDAUGHTER REBECCA, 33. WE HAVE 3 GRANDSONS AGES 9, 4, 1. THEY ALL LIVE IN MARYLAND AND IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO MAKE ALL THE GRANDKID'S BIRTHDAYS WHEN THEY ARE IN MAY, JULY, AND AUGUST. PAM AND I...Expand for more
ARE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE ALL THREE THIS YEAR. ROD WAS TRAINED AS AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC IN THE AIR FORCE AND NOW WORKS FOR SOUTHWEST. IT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT SOMETIMES FLYING STANDBY, BUT THE PRICE IS RIGHT. BECCA IS SPEECH PATHOLOGIST SPECIALIZING IN SWALLOWING DISORDERS AND MARRIED TO A MARYLAND STATE TROOPER, ERIK. I NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDEREN, BUT IT HAS ALL WORKED OUT WELL, AND WE ARE PROUD OF THEM ALL.
HOPE TO HEAR FROM SOME OF THE OLD CROWD. I AM TRYING TO CONTACE AS MANY AS I CAN ON THIS SITE, BUT I HAVE JUST GOTTEN ON AND IT IS TAKING MORE TIME THAN I THOUGHT. IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I AM NOT REAL COMPUTER SAVVY, SO I HOPE I'M DOING WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO.
GOD BLESS WITH GOOD LIFE AND HEALTH
