Byard's Story

Life as of September 2010 Third (and last) marriage. Three children, one son (from first), and two daughters (from second), and two step-children, one daughter and one son from third and current wife. Eight grandchildren Three girls and one boy ranging from 21-8 years from older daughter, and boy and girl, 12 years and 8 years stepson. One granddaughter from son born 6/4/05, and one grandson from stepdaughter born 6/20/05. Two great-grandsons from oldest granddaughter. Worked at DDO (Utah Army Depot then) after graduation from August to November 1963. Joined Army in November 1963. Basic at Ft. Ord, CA. Heavy equipment shool at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. 1.5 years at Ft. Wolters, TX, one year in Vietnam, 6 months at Ft. Sill, OK. Came back home and worked at DDO for 12 years while cramming a 4-year degree in geology into 8 years. Graduated from WSC in 1978, and worked in the oilfield for about 4 years in Gilette, WY, Houston,TX, and Williston, ND. Came back to DDO for one year. Hired on with the Bureau of Land Management as a geologist in November 1983, retired as a hazardous materials coordinator in Phoenix, AZ. Duty stations with BLM include Fillmore, UT, Phoenix, AZ for 4-month training and met third wife Carol, back to Fillmore, then Las Vegas, NV, Battle Mountain, NV, and Phoenix, AZ. Lived in Phoenix since 7/89. Retired from BLM on January 3, 2005 after 37 years (don't recall even being that old) Federal service. Moved to Kanab, UT in March 2005. Wife Carol retired from BLM January 3, 2007 with 28 years service. Next move will be to the grave. If I had one do-over, I would work really hard to make my first marriage a success. I was (but hopef...Expand for more
ully no longer) a real buttt!!!! However, it appears the third time is the charm. My current age is 65, and now on Medicare (my posture greatly improves when I say that). When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be dead. I was completely wrong (mostly). The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is my father, because he died at a very young age (43) when I was six years old. Also would like to see my brother Bob, who died much too young in January 98 at 56 years. And of course, my mom. Wait, that's three. My first job was at Weber State College, old campus at 25th Street and Madison, where I got paid scrub toilets, wash floors and walls to make them clean. What I remember most about it is scrubbing toilets kept me humble (and it really sucks). Sorry Rocky!!! (See below) The childhood memory I will never forget is the death of my father. The teacher I would love to see is Raquell Holman (I called her Rocky), Senior English teacher. She knew how to put up with my BS (see the above statement in parentheses), and had it not been for her, I probably wouldn't have graduated. Thanks Rocky!! To be truly happy, I would be where I am, doing the things I'm doing with whom I'm with. I'm working hard to get this retirement thing down. Have been doing some contract work to bring in a few extra bucks. I still dress much the same as I did 10-20 years ago. My talk style is like, ya know, pretty much the same. No likes, and ya knows. Like ya know, ya know, ya' know. I'm like, ya know still trying to keep "Rocky" happy, ya know. How do I hope my old friends remember me? I just hope they remember me. Love to hear from any of you.
