Dennis's Story
Life
Hi gang, I married my high school sweety, Laurie Morgan (Class of 72) in '74. That year we moved to Tallahassee, Florida <GO NOLES> We had a daughter in '76 and a son in '79. Migrated south to Vero Beach in '84 with Laurie's job with the state. Came back to Tallahassee in '90. We moved to Jacksonville in '98 and we're Livin' La Vida Loca on the beach in Atlantic Beach FL. Worked construction for 18 years but after an injury I'm now a computer network engineer for a small firm servicing small businessses.
Whoa, it;s been a while since the last update. I burned out on the computer network engineering after 10 years. In short I ruined a good hobby. (Bill Gates is the anti-Christ)The injury mentioned earlier was being struck by a car as a pedestrian in 1992 that resulted in a new knee in 1995. In 2005 I went back to construction. I have sent the last 3 years traveling around the Southeast from Florida to Texas building restaurants. If you find yourself in the Atlanta Airport, stop by the "On The Border" on Concourse "T", one of my more memorable projects. I am still married to the love of my life, Laurie Morgan Ca...Expand for more
rpenter, 35 years and going strong. The last 3 have been kinda tough. Laurie live with our daughter in Atlanta helping get through a wicked bad devorce while I traveled with the projects. The daughter is now in Vero Beach FL and we are back in our little corner of paradise back in Atlantic Beach. Somehow I just can't get the darned sand outta my shoes. Oh well, guess I'll just have another margaritta.
It's now 2013. Damn how the time does fly. Laurie and I are still in Atlantic Beach, FL. Get this, it's January and it's gonna be in the 80's all week. Ain't no way I'm goin' back up north. I had to have spinal fusion surgery 2 years ago. With the limits I have been placed under I am now on Social Security Disability. My daughter has re-married and moved here. My son was married briefly, divorced a and has been remarried for 7 years, and I am the Grandfather to 5 boys. My daughter's boys are 9 years and the twins are 6. My son's oldest is 5 an youngest is almost 2. I am looking into starting a small business. More on that in the future. Time for another margaritta. Oh BTW Dan Keller has a business four miles from here.
