Kent's Story
"It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
One of my favorite quotes from a book I read in high school. Some of you may recognize it.
I don'ÃÂÃÂt know what I was expecting in life when I left Crowley High but it was nothing like this.
In 1979 I was lucky enough to get a good Job at GD. So I started working for a living, got married, and moved to Arlington.

I know I wish I paid more attention when life was offering the easy lessons.
I have had enough adventures getting here, at this stage I am looking forward to retiring and enjoying the golden years. :-)
