Richard's Story
After high school i enlisted in the army and soon after i was on my way to the sunny country(HA HA) of Vietnam where i didn't stay very long due to the pull out of US troops and found my self in the Republic of South Korea where i spent the following year having a ball ...upon i my return to Tulsa i Married a friend of my sisters(Janice Tharp) , soon after that we were blessed with our daughter(Susan), during this time we were stationed in Lawton for about three years, then i was shipped to Germany where i ended my military career and moved on to better things.. after the birth of our second son our marriage fell apart,so we went our seperate ways..in 1984 I married the woman of my dreams(Carol Shatwell) she had two children from a previous marriage that their father deserted them , so i took over as their dad, we had a pretty decent life until Carol was killed in 98..after her death i semi-retired until i got bored so i went back to driving a truck until i got hurt in 2007 and now on disability.

ly and friends thought that was a Great idea. As it turns out, they were right.but my grades would not help me get a grant or any help with medical school and it was to expensive for me or my parents to afford and that's the reason i went into the military..when tested they even said the the medical field would be a great job for me but i follow my father and became a truck driver..after the military i did have the priviledge to work with the Turley Fire Dept. for around 18 yrs before quitting due to legal problems.....as a fireman we did have the runs where we attended to people..as far as car wrecks and heart attacks and the likes........so i fulfilled the niche as a medical attendee......if i ever could meet a person from school that i haven't met again it would be Margeret VanNess who was the first girl i had ask to be my wife and i have not seen her since....that's the world for you...but really she dumped me while i was in Nam..i don't think i ever got over her..if you are out there....i still remember the day i left for the airport..it was NICE....
