Reid's Story
Life
Hi everyone: My wife and I had an enjoyable time at the 30-year class reunion (July 18, 2008). It was nice to see many of you there. ****** I have a great job--in the antiquarian book business. I'm a treasure hunter of sorts--kind of like Nicolas Cage in "National Treasure". I track down books that have belonged to famous historical figures. Doing the research and following the leads is a lot of fun. My travels take me all over the world. Some of my more interesting finds have been: a New Testament (1589) that belonged to Queen Elizabeth--THE Queen Elizabeth--daughter of Henry VIII; a Prayer Book (1785) that belonged to Marie Antoinette; and a King James Bible (1614) that belonged to KING JAMES! I always try to take at least one of my SEVEN children with me.......... **** (Background info) Here's a quick overview of the past 30 years **** I played tennis at Skyline. I then went to BYU for a year. Then for the next two years I was a missionary in South America (Bolivia) for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). It was quite interesting to live in another country and learn another language and meet great people--in spite of the military coups. I met a very ni...Expand for more
ce person while in Bolivia (Veronica). After I returned to Dallas, we corresponded, long story short, we got married a few months later. We went back to BYU for three years then returned to Dallas (Plano) to work. I took a small family religious bookstore and turned it into a thriving business. The bookstore took off and eventually we merged it with a small chain of bookstores out of Utah (Seagull Book). By this time I also owned another bookstore in LA. I ran Seagull Book for several years. We expanded to 15 stores in California, Utah, Arizona and Texas. We parted ways in 1998 and I came back to Dallas. Veronica and I had four children together (2 boys, 2 girls) Unfortunately, Veronica and I are no longer married. I travel a lot with my older kids. In the past two years we've traveled to: Bolivia, Peru, Morroco, Tunisia, Spain, France, Portugal, Italy and the UK. I got remarried 10 years ago to Melanie (San Jose, CA). We have three small children (2 boys and a girl) ages 2, 4 and 6. We get together often and have a blast. I have a store in Dallas (Moon's LDS Bookstore) mormon-books.com. I also run the Antiquarian Bible Shoppe moonsrarebooks.com. *********** Stay in touch. Best, Reid
