Ford's Story
Life
Went to the University of Tennessee right out of High School and had a great time for
about a year. (Alot of parties but didn't study enough!) Then I joined the
Navy and spent 8 1/2 active years in the submarine force between sea and shore duties
(New London Conn., Guam,Valejo, CA., Scotland, Virginia Beach VA) and finally Charleston, SC.
where I completed my final duty with the Navy and ended up going back to college to get a
degree in Electronic Engineering. It was now time to get out of the service. I went to work with
Lockheed Missiles and Space two weeks later. While in the Navy, I married in 1972 and have a
daughter (1975) and a son (1979) and 1 grandaughter. Unfortuna...Expand for more
tely, we ended up getting a divorce
in 1994 after 22 years. We are still friends. Left Charleston and transferred with Lockheed to
Decatur, Alabama the same year. I met a local girl and remarried in 1994. Remained in the Navy Reserves
until 1995. Worked with Lockheed until 1999 (22 years) and began working with the Boeing Company
in Huntsville. I love hunting and fishing, golfing, attending UT sporting events (Go Big Orange), NASCAR
events,working around the house and love spending time with my grand daughter and step-grand daughter.
I wish I could relive my teen age years knowing what I know now, but don't we all. I plan to retire at 55 and
make my hobbies my full time enjoyment.
