Billy's Story

Thankfully, I graduated in 1960 and after working during the summer at Jackson Lake in Jackson, Georgia (where I had an opportunity to experience the real country life) I went to The University of Alabama where I played in the "Million Dollar Band", the "Cavaliers" dance band, the Birmingham Symphony, and the Southeastern Composers Forum. From there I went to work at WSFA-TV in Montgomery and then on to WAGA-TV in Atlanta. I worked some with CBS Sports and was the first Directors Assistant for the Falcons Football halftime show for a year. Later, I joined Delta Air Lines in Atlanta and worked in Reservations, Marketing, Customer Relations as a rep, Passenger and Customer Services, Operations, Data Communications(where I had the opportunity to work on a travelling data team that helped develop electronic seat selection), and Communications Maintenance.

994 (early) and worked for a while with the Delta Communications subsidiary. For the next three years I was my wife's trip driver for her North Carolina and Tennessee business trips (she was regional HR Mgr). Then we bought some acreage in the country where I have since played mini-farmer and golf lover. Beginning 1988 I began having heart problems show up and in 2002 Emory Heart Center in Atlanta developed the first "three lead" ICD on me while my body tried to die on the operating table. It obviously worked and now everyone that receives the 3 lead ICD (implanted cardiac device) gets an updated version of the prototype that saved my life. A couple of years ago I participated in yet another life saving device with an implant in my heart of the "Watchman" device. You can see the watchman video on YouTube. It has been a little exciting at times in my life and I thank God for it.
