Gary's Story

Life I went to a year-long instensive study on Electronics Technology immediately after high school and then went straight to work for C&P Telephone Company in June of 1970. I married Carol Igo (St. Albans class of 1969) in August 1976 and we have two daughters: Kathryn (now 31) and Holly (now 29). I retired from Bell Atlantic after 26 years and went to work for Microsoft Corporation in Washington DC. I have been with Microsoft for a little over ten years now and currently manage our Enterprise Consulting Services team in the Mid-Atlantic States area. I now have a grand-daughter, Hope Kathryn Christy, born to my youngest daughter Holly. What a joy she is and an awesome blessing from God!

Looking back at where I was in life just after high school, I could never have imagined what God had in store for me.

That awesome responsibility is what gave me the inspiration and will to put myself through college and graduate school, to push myself to succeed at Bell Atlantic, and to eventually land the job I now have at Microsoft. Growing up as a poor kid on welfare in WV gave me a good grounding in the realities of life. It is my hope that I can continue to help and insprire others less fortunate than me to look beyond their current circumstances.

I bought a brand new Toyota 4Runner Limited back in October 2002 and have driven it for the last 14 years. It has been the best truck ever, requiring nothing but normal maintenance (brakes, tires, oil changes, etc). I have

After a long hot day working in the garden and cleaning my truck, my good buddy Rusty and i kicked back for a little while to cool off with a cold beer.
Today is a very sad day; Rusty has been having violent seizures and it was just getting worse and more frequent. We decided it was too painful to see him go through this anymore. It hurts deeply and I've been a blubbering i
At Smith Mountain Lake for the weekend celebrating my retirement with my family and symbolically riding myself of old work papers, bank statements, and pay stubs.  Free at last, free at last!!!

Beautiful workmanship! I can imagine the festivities at Thanksgiving and Christmas with everyone gathered around this table (without having to bring in extra folding chairs to accomodate everyone).
