Winston's Story

Life Well folks, it's been a few years since we graduated from high school, together, in 1971! Since graduating, I went to college off and on and have 117 hours accumulated at SEMO State University,in Cape Girardeau, Mo., towards my degree in Industrial Engineering Technology with minors in math and marketing. Since we graduated in 1971 I've done a variety of jobs.....I'm presently Semi-retired and still own a few of granddad's houses, but an getting out of the biz by fixing them up and selling them, on 'contract for deed' and just toting the note myself. I'm also a licensed Notary Public, now. I'm considered a 'Cold War era.Vet' and have Honorable Discharges from both, the US Army and Missouri Army National Guard, While in the NG, did attend officer's academy, at Jeff City, to try to become an officer, at the Mo State Highway Patrol Academy, but I let it go! I worked, as an Artillery Surveyor, in the Army and a Construction Surveyor in the MoANG. Also worked at 3 different Daily Newspapers as a Circulation Manager, in Mo. and Illinois.; I published and had printed, a weekly tabloid newspaper and shopper in Senath, for awhile. I worked for the U.S. Corp of Engineers, Memphis District, as a Topographic/Hydrographic Surveyor. and worked on the Mississippi River from the Memphis District, for a yr, till Dr Palenski told me to get out, because of my allergies to poison sumac and ivy! . I've also was a captive Insurance agent for Combined Insurance Agency and then was an independent insurance agent, mainly trying to sell life & health insurance.. I've also owned an VISP, called Missourinet.net that provided dialup, DSL and Satellite connections to the internet. Fe...Expand for more
w years ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, at the VA Hospital in PB.. I've since been trying to educate people on the effects of this disease.. For those who didn't know me well, I'm not the type of person who goes around complaining about my health issues! I was on Facebook, but that social media site, got stupid and ignorant, as hell! Was on it for 11 yrs and they just kicked me off! Screw FB! I just keep on going, doing whatever God allows me to do, even tho I'm not a religious person! It has it's advantageous. Gives one decent morals. Oh ya I did get married to a girl from Kennett. But divorced her.. So much for a 'first marriage! Thought I could raise a family, but seems she lied to me on being able to have anymore kids. Turns out she was a bigamist and a child molester from her previous marriages! I've managed to date a few more since, but this world is going nuts! So went childless. Our educational system went to crap! Learned that the high school doesn't even have a bandroom anymore.. it was turned into a weight room! And here, took 8 yrs of band, from the 4th up thru the 12th grade! BTW, I did manage.to join the Kennett Municipal Band, for playing at Jones Park, where the bandstand is, and we played there, on the 4th of July.. Played with them, for a couple of years! Still had my Bb Clarinet and acquired an Eb Alto Bass Clarinet. All thru the years, learned how to play the piano, organ, drums, tried to learn the guitar. Got a small Violin and was learning how to play it, but got busy and quit, but the bow broke, the truth be knownst. For those classmates that remember my mom, Grace Glisson, she passed away on July 8th of 2006 and was 91!
