William's Story
Life
Most of yall attended FHS for the full 5 years, starting in 8th grade. I was a transfer from Patrick Henry HS in Roanoke, VA., my first year at FHS was my 10th grade year, fall 1968. Homeroom no. 123, Mrs. Huller. I went on to CNC across the street, married Charlotte Yielding in 1973, we split in 1976, no kids(a blessing in disguise), finally graduated from CNC in Jan 1978 with a BSBA - finance. Became a runner after graduation in order to get fit & lose weight from all the beer in college. Music was my passion back then, me & my guitar, and I played a few gigs at CNC before & after graduating. Played several...Expand for more
gigs at Strawberry Banks in Hampton in '79 & 80. Moved to Houston Dec '80 where I bartended & waited tables for 4 yrs then worked at a bank for 8 yrs (the bank failed after I left in Aug '92). Remarried June 1992, 2 stepdaughters, 3 granddaughters. Single again July '99 but good friends with former spouse. I've completed 10 marathons & over 200 other shorter races since spring '78. Oh, so much to tell, but God has blessed me with good health & fond memories of Ferguson, my classmates, & my friends. Music (songwriting & composing) is still a passion even as I continue to work in the acctg/software/consulting arena.
