Ernest's Story

Hey fellow classmates of BHS. Those of you that lost track of me, I used to hang out with Tony Moreno, Mike Dillon, David Ruiz, Rene Rodriguez, Frank Peña, Luis Teran, George Garza, Joe Solis, Joe L. Hinojosa, and Joel Martinez. Actually I could go on and on. I did the Air force thing, came back and got my degree. I inherited my dads shrimp boat and bought a second and did that for 20 yrs. Got real good at golf and bowling until I sold out in 2000. Got an investment group together and opened up a 40 lane bowling alley "Galaxy" with night club, restaurant, and event center. Almost killed me. Had a massive heart attack in 2005 and decided to get out. In May I will complete Seven years with B.I.S.D as Area Supervisor in charge of Catering and the Food & Nutrition warehouse and motor pool and Small Equipment Maintenance. Sounds like a lot, but it is easy compared to Galaxy. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing and contacting old friends. Almost died once, so I want to take adv...Expand for more
antage of my second chance. God is awesome isn't he!!!! Addendum: I have created a bucket list (like the movie) and one of the things I want to do is see and talk to anyone and everyone that has been part of my life. I have made contact with friends I made in the Air Force, when I lived in Tularosa and Alamogordo, New Mexico, when I attended Del Mar in Corpus Chrisiti. Hope I can see some of you again some day. Make contact with me, let's talk about old times. Addendum: I have now entered the "Twilight Zone" 2020! Will retire June 30th of this year and six days later turn "69" Who would have thought that a class of 69 member would retire on a "69"! Boy am I ready! In pretty good health, thanks to God ! Still want to hear from all of you that crossed roads with me in our short lives! How quickly it has gone by! Kinda sad that now I am asking God for twenty more years. I have enjoyed my life and I have no regrets! That I can make public! Lol!! Let's pray for twenty more!
