Paul's Story
I currently live in Seabrook, TX just down the road from NASA's Houston Space Center. I sell SEA VEE offshore fishing boats here and fly back every third day to Grand Prairie where I am finishing my career as a Capt. with the Grand Prairie Fire Department. I work two full time jobs but love both of them. For relaxation I am pursuing my commercial pilot's license in my Mooney M20K airplane. I still fish a few offshore tournaments and have been lucky enough to win a couple in the last few years. I am still single and have no kids that I know of! :-) I have come pretty close to getting married a couple of times and will probably settle down eventually if the right woman comes along. (she hasn't shown up yet) No complaints at this point.!
It is amazing to see how much Grand Prairie has changed since we graduated and that is all I will say about that! My mom and dad are still active and travel around the country in their camper enjoying life.
I will retire from the F.D. 3/1/...Expand for more
2010 but I will still be selling boats here in Houston hopefully. My life pretty much consists of working, flying my plane, fishng or scuba diving, and teaching seminars on offshore fishing. I still like to work out but it gets tougher every year to stay in shape. I gave up on my hair about 5 years ago and shave my head about once a week. For a guy who barely got out of Mrs. Farr's english class I guess I have done ok. Not wealthy by any means but I do have some very nice toys which is what keeps me sane working as much as I do. I consider myself lucky, I go hang out with my friends at the fire station every third day and then fly my own plane back home to Seabrook so I can sell the best built offshore tournament boats made, for a company with owners my age that have become like brothers to me. I have gotten to do way more than most people. Many years from now when you hear I have passed on, don't shed a tear for me. My life has always been, and continues to be a blast!!!
