Bobby's Story

Hello I atarted to school 1947 in Haskell, Tx. We moved to Brownfield mid-term 1950. We moved mid-term 1956 to Midland.  We moved from Midland about two weeks after I started Midland High to Cleburne. That didn't work out for Dad and we moved back to Odessa at mid-term. I didn't €Â™t do very good that year and started the next year and was working before and after schoo in a produce department at Food Mart. I quit school I worked in the oil field. I then joined the Navy December 1958, did well getting rank and a GED, out June 1962.  I went back to Odessa and worked in the oil field till early 1963, then went to Dallas area and went to work at GM in Arlington till 1975. While there I started to college several times and finally received an AA degree at Tarrant County Junior College. I went to UTA about a year and did not finish.  I always worked nights at GM and did other work days, mechanic, carpenter, house painter...Expand for more
and started a urethane insulation company. I quit GM 1975 and with the insulation I started Vans Unique in Grand Prairie. 1980 with a gas shortage and 21% interest I got out of the van conversions. I then bought a True Value/Radio Shack store in Lockhart. I ran it for 15 years then sold it. Since then among other things I have been working as an Independent Insurance Adjuster. I married a girl in California while in the Navy, didnt work. I married again about the time I went to work at GM and we have a girl, Shelley and a son, Greg. Donna, their mother and I got a divorce 1987. I then remarried the girl from California, didn'€™t work. In 1994  I married Barbara that lives in Lytton Springs, Dale Post Office, about 15 miles south of Austin Bergstrom Airport.  Mother passed away in 2005 and Dad had Alzheimer™s, we moved to Haskell and I took care of him, he was 98.5 when he passed away in 2011. We are in Lytton Springs now.
