Mitch's Story
After graduating from Eastwood, I played college basketball at Hardin-Simmons University I blew a knee, and then transferred to Texas Tech. I happened to meet my wife, Janice, at Tech. We had a botany class together and she was the most beautiful, most down to earth girl I had ever met. I finally got the courage to ask her out.. We dated for a few years off and on and eventually married in 1980. We have 2 beautiful, grown daughters whom also went to Texas Tech. They are beautiful, (thanks to their mom's genes) intelligent and quite athletic. They are pretty darn good golfers. They both played in the LPGA Junior Prescott Tour. Both of our girls are now educators. Our oldest, Janna, was recently married. Our youngest, Morgan and husband Derek,, just gave birth to our very first grandbaby, Gage Henderson Waters. Love his name! He is so much fun and we love spending time with him!
UPDATE ! As of 8/1/11...Expand for more
, both daughters are now pregnant and are both due in the very same week!!
UPDATE ! Our first grandgirl was born yesterday! Her name is Berkley! Now we wait for grandaughter #2. She is due anytime now!
UPDATE ! Janna and Scott are now the proud parents of Brynnlee, she was born Jan.11th. Now we have a grandson and two granddaughters!
I was in management for 25 years in the specialty building materials industry. We have lived in Lubbock, Arlington and now back in the Texas Panhandle (we have refused to live anywhere but Texas...we wouldn't live in Houston, either). I was blessed with a wonderful group of partners and employees and I cherished every minute of it! I retired in the spring of '08.
One thing I also really enjoyed was coaching basketball. A win was a natural "high" and a loss was a learning experience. You quickly learn to appreciate both and move forward.
I hope everyone is doing well!
