s on motorcycles.I also love to para-sail in Flordia as my youngest son is a Captain on speed boats etc.I teach women at the Federal Prisons, Chaplain at various jails and hospitals and Founded "Dove Chaplaincy Corps International" where I teach Pastors etc to become Chaplains who are now serving in various venues around the globe. All this was possible, because someone believed in me and showed me I could do and be anyone I wanted to be. I instill the same values and encouragement in others hoping to make a difference in their lives. As a drop out in my 11th year of High School to marry at age 16, I would do it all over again, as I found being young with my sons made it fun raising them all. Now we are great friends. I look forward hearing from my past classmates. While Russ was in the Air Force we traveled to the Philippine Islands, and other places.Classmates, it is never to late to gain an education,I am now a life long learner. I encourage anyone with the dream of completing their education to do so. If I can be of any help or mentor I will be honored to do so. .God Bless you All, God is not through with me yet.. "Chap" Joy
