Jack's Story
College
It took me "THREE DECADES" to graduate! I started the fall of 1979, majored in partying for 3 1/2 years, dropped out the fall of 1983 and went into the Army (82'nd Airborne). Got out in the fall of '86 and re-enrolled with a renewed sense of purpose as well as a new major, worked part-time and finally graduated in the spring of 1990!
Workplace
I'm currently a Table Games Supervisor (if you prefer, a "Pit Boss!") at Harrah's Casino in Tunica, Mississippi. Been there since 1996. It's actually a fun thing to do, although the hours suck! Come in to see me and I'll treat you to lunch!
Military
Served proudly in the 82'nd Airborne Division. I had a brief, undistinguished career, but had the privilege of serving directly under (then) Colonel Henry Shelton,...Expand for more
who a few years later became GENERAL Shelton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff! Got to jump out of planes many times, and only twisted my ankle once. :-) For a skinny guy with asthma, I did great!
STORY IDEAS:
I think it would surprise my classmates at my HS reunion that I can sing Johnny Cash songs pretty darned good. . .
I would LOVE to see Mrs. Yeager again. . .she was sooooo cute! And she loved to sing the "Oscar Meyer Weiner" song. . .
I'm not sure what the "wildest" thing was I ever did in school. Will have to get back with ya on that one. . .
I think my first crush at Desha was in 4'th grade, with Tammie Martin--an older woman in the 5'TH GRADE! I think she's still in the area. . .
Old friends can remember me any way they see fit. . . :-)
