James's Story
College
When I think of College I think of how much more it meant to me than High School. I spent time studying in College where in high school I spent the time thinking of how to get out of homework and studying except in the mathematics courses. My Chemistry teacher told me I would be wasting my folk's money by going to college, guess that was a good motivator. Getting a master's degree at Durant OK was probably my best college experience. Being at the top of the class was much better than being on the bottom.
My summers in Durant OK, obtaining my masters in education, was probably one of my most rewarding experiences. Being in a classroom full of mathematics teachers working towards the same accomplishment was quite an achievement. Fishing in Lake Texhoma and some of the surrounding lakes in the afternoons and weekends took the stress away. My classmates were all so friendly and giving. Experiences like this in edu...Expand for more
cation are much needed by teachers.
Military
Navy life left much to be desired, but, my time on LSMR 405 and 517 was a highlight in my life. I have never been able to contact any of my shipmates, and that is sad. Maybe now classmates will give me that chance.
Retirement
I retired in 1994 and set up and run a computer consulting firm. I also spent more time fishing for "pikeminnow", which is a predator to our salmon industry here in OR. There is a bounty on them and so in the past 18 years I have subsidized my income by searching them out.
Now I spend a great deal of time chasing my Grand Daughter around who is a freshman in high school. She plays volleyball, basketball and softball. Think fast pitch softball is her best sport and she plays on the HS team, and a traveling tournament team that plays tournaments spring, summer and fall.
I have lived a full life, thanks to my wife Arlyce, and 4 reliable children.
