Bobby's Story
Life
In 1971 after graduating from Tulane University, I returned to Germany and began teaching English and PE at a gymnasium (academic high school) near Frankfurt Germany. In 1974 I joined the
language training department at Lufthansa German Airlines as the
assistant director for language training. I worked in the language
lab and taught seminars from 1974 until 2001. As a result of my
experience with Lufthansa, naturally I began traveling extensively during my tenure there and later on as well. I never dreamed that a "Redneck" from North Carolina who could not speak English very well ...Expand for more
would one day end up working for a European company and speaking a foreign language daily. Life certainly has its surprises, doesn't it?! I retired from Lufthansa in 2003 officially, but they still
allow us to fly anywhere in the world, more or less, with industry discounted tickets. Last summer we flew to Germany, France and
Thailand. As I retired from a local middle school in North
Carolina in August, 2006, we will be flying to Australia and New Zealand in November, 2007. I am looking forward to hearing from
all of you in the near future!! Good luck in 2007 and God speed!!
