ught for 2 years in the Camden Tennessee school system, 6 years at Henry County High School in Paris, TN, 11 years in the Oxford, MS school system and 20 years in the Jackson, TN system.
My wife, Shirley, and I have one son, Jason, who is the Biological and Chemical Safey Officer for the University Med Center in Jackson, MS.
Shirley and I have been married for 34 years as of Aug. 4, 2007. We just built and moved into, what I hope is, our final home here in Oxford.
We attend church at the First Pentecostal Church of Oxford.
