Justin's Story
Life
Moved to Grove Oklahoma close to the end of my senior year. Still was able to get my diploma from Wilson. Worked a few different jobs from Auto Parts Stores to laying asphalt driveways. In Oct of 81 I started working for a company called PSO, Public Service Co. of Oklahoma. I started out reading meters. Did that for about 2 1/2 years then progressed to the line department. I started my apprenticeship in 84 and became a journeyman lineman in 88.In case you are not sure what that is, I climbed poles and worked out of a bucket truck building and repairing powerlines. It also involves restoring power during storms. I stayed in the line dept. up until Aug of 2001. Had enough of the cold winters and very hot summers. I took a position as dispatcher with the same company. I took trouble calls and sent the guys out to fix them. I retired from PSO in April of 2003. Took that summer off to spend with my kids. Started back to work in Sept, of the same year, with a company called Premier Auctioneers.I enjoy the job and I get to travel all across the country & Canada. I am now working for Kruse Energy & Equipment Auctioneers. It is a new company that started in May of 2005. The company has been very successful.
I am divorced,married 11yrs, with two children. A daughter that is 17 and a son 14. They don't live close but I do get to see them pr...Expand for more
etty often and have them during the summer and a week or so at Christmas. They are both "A" students,unlike myself. My daughter is playing golf and soccer, My son plays golf,basketball. My life has taken a hard path at times but I am happy. I live in Tulsa Ok now and probably for a long time. Bye the way I am and always have been Gay. Chose to take the str8 road during my school years because it was easier. Not anymore I am OUT and living my life as it was meant to be. I have been with my partner for a little over 6 1/2 years. He is a wonderful man and has a great out look on life.I am still the same person as I have always been. I am just more aware of that person now and live for me and my kids and don't worry about what other people want or think I should be.
I have looked at this list of people here several times and I am starting to see more and more people that I recognize by name. Write me a note if you remember me. Later, Justin
