Paul's Story
Finished my military service in San Antonio, Texas. Married a San Antonio girl and we had 2 children a boy and a girl. Had a miracle of a career in the Ladies Apparel business. Started as a line supervisor, From there I was promoted to plant manager, the regional manager, director of manufacturing and finally at age 30 I was promoted to Vice President of manufacturing, Made more money than I ever dreamed and got to see most of the world as this was one of the largest ladies wear manufactures in the country. It was called Jerell, the corp. name, along with many other labels. But all was not well. I married badly. We built a house, put in and in ground gunite pool, bought a 45 foot house boat. I guess all in an effort to hold things together. I waited until my kids were grown and settled and divorced her. Gave her everything and started over.

job in northern Virginia. I loved the job and the area. We had an opening for production manager and I asked one of my most treasured employees to accept the position. She did and about a year or so we were married. She is my soul mate and our marriage is outstanding. A few years later he mother came down with Alzimers and we had to move back to Texas. I was 62 and the apparel industry in Dallas had all moved overseas but was offered a job with a company out of Chicago but I would have to travel and basically live out of a suit case. I declined and retired. Now I play golf, tinker in the stock market and do gardening (my favorite). We built a house of a half acre of land and keeping up with the garden is nearly full time but the beauty of it is worth it. So the Love of my life and I watch the flowers grow and enjoy wine on the patio in the evenings.
