Lonnie's Story

Life Looking back over the years for this 70 plus male is a wonder, did I do that in my life time? 1952 I graduated from Roy Miller High School, Corpus Chrisit, Texas.

ain. Next stop, March, 1971, Othello Radar Site, Othello, WA. I changed career path from communications to management in September, 1973. Next stop Hancock Field Syracuse, NY, January, 1974. Did not move again until June, 1976 to Peterson AFB (Colorado Springs), CO. Last Air Force move was June, 1978 to Tinker AFB Oklahoma City), OK. Betty managed to teach 3rd grade at Tampa, FL, Othello, WA and Choctaw, OK. Betty retired June, 2001. I retired from the Air Force December 31, 1984. I started my second career with the Department of Defense (Air Force) October 28, 1985. Todd and Lynne have provided Betty and I four grandchildren, three boys, one girl. Lynne has three, two boys, one girl. Todd has one, one boy. Lynne and family live four plus miles from us in Del City, OK and Todd and family live in Raliegh, NC. Betty and live in Midwest City, OK. I have not made any plans to retire. I think about retirement, but have not set a date. Why retire when I can do what ever when ever. I served as an enlisted Air Force memeber, never tried for a commission. Money wise, not a smart move, but I have no regrets. If I do retire I will have three retirement checks. As it is now, I have two retirement checks and one salary check. Betty has her own two retirement checks. Betty and Lonnie Carlton have been blessed.
