Walter's Story
Looking at this I realized, that I had added to it, but never read the whole thing over, so I updated it - I am not sure how I got this old, quite this fast. Well, as some of you might remember I used to ride motorcycles and when I did I ride, I rode them over in the Pits, just off Beulah Rd; well as it turns out I ended up living there - but it's now called Kingstowne. I also was into cars and drove a purple Roadrunner that I parked in front of the Gym. As to what I have been up to- after High School, I went to Shepherd College (now University) in WV, graduated with a degree in Business with a Econ minor. Goofed around with various jobs and ended up getting hired on with the Government at Fort Belvoir in 1982 and worked for DoD for 35 years. I had jobs mainly in the accounting and auditing fields and my last position I worked at the Pentagon for the Army ASA(FM&C) as a Business System Manager for all the Army Financial systems. I am married and have two boys ages now (2020) they are 23 and 25, both went go to Edison (oh well what can I say, other than it's better than Hayfield). Both Graduated from Longwood University, oldest in Finance (ROTC) and now Army, youngest Cyber Security degree. I got back into riding, (Harley V-Rod's) for a little over 10 years and I still play with cars, I currently have a convertible Mercedes SL65 and a C7 Z06 Corvette. I taught motorcycle riding for 6 years as an MSF Instructor, but standing all day started to take the fun out of it. My Wife works is Broker/Realtor and owns Key Home Sales and Management (W. Springfield), she works with Buyers and Sellers and runs her own Property Management Business. Update as of 2023 - My oldest is now a LT (soo...Expand for more
n to pin Captain) in the Army and just returned from being stationed in Germany for 2 years; Youngest now working Cyber security for a company in Reston VA. We moved from K-towne to Clifton (about 6 years ago) and now have 5 acres, which keeps me busy, I am dabbling in Bee keeping and work as our pool boy. I belonged to Issac Walton League, Fairfax/Arlington Chapter and worked there as a Range Officer. I am a member of a local Corvette Club and Mercedes Car Club. Look forward to hearing from those of you who might still remember me and maybe my purple Roadrunner. I am on FB if you'd like to reach out to me there; also there is a FB page for Lee HS, which I am also a member. Take care and hope all is going really well for you and your families. Walter "Dave" Best ---- Just quick update - we have purchased a piece of land, just outside Orient NC (Sailing Capitol of NC) on one of the local creeks. (Fun Fact: North Carolina has the longest coast line of any US State). We are building a house, a shop (for my cars) and a carriage house/garage with an apartment above it. (Posted a few pics if anyone is interested) Planning on moving down there mid-year '23, Wife will join me full time once we sell our house in Clifton and she sells her Company. Since the house is on the water I've had a dock built and gotten a boat -looking forward to running it around, never had a boat before, so the learning continues. But should be fun and we both can enjoy retirement, looking forward to selecting and planting flowering plants around the house, maybe even a garden. And I am sure I am going to stay busy. Again, wish the best for all of you and hope everyone is doing well. Walt or Dave Best
