Hubert's Story
Wow, have I ever lived an exciting life......NOT.
Spent 2 wonderful (just kidding) years in the US Army in such exotic locations as Ft. Polk, La. and Ft. Hood, TX. Moved to Houston where I spent the next 40+ years. Worked as a quality control tech in a plastics company lab, later as QC manager. Started my own construction company pouring concrete slabs for Walmart stores, hotels, houses, etc. Tired of that and eventually worked with my brother Bob in a skin care products distribution company that we had started together earlier. Bob and his daughter Tam still run the business. I retired in 2009 and my wife Kathy and I moved to Gatesville, Tx to be near her brother and his wife. We've done a lot of camping, fishing, hunting, and traveling with them. Kathy owned and operated a travel agency in Houston for several years and we really did a lot of traveling.......literally "around the world". We still enjoy traveling and have taken many cruises and escorted tours. In fact, this April (2014), we will make our first ever trip to China. (I wonder if they have goo...Expand for more
d sweet and sour pork?) We have a South Pacific cruise on our bucket list and plan to do that maybe on our 40th anniversary. All in all it's been a pretty good life. We've been relatively healthy and have enjoyed the fruits of our labor. We have no children. We both love to fish, golf, travel, eat good food, drink good wine, and watch the Baylor Lady Bears play basketball. I'm sad to say I've lost many old friends and classmates over the past few years, but their memory lives on as fresh in my mind as if it were only yesterday when we were roaming the halls of of dear Ol' Whitehouse High.......questioning the sanity of having to learn to orally quote passages from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. " I fear thee ancient mariner, I fear thy skinny hand. For thou art long and lank and brown, as is the ribbed sea sand." OK, don't look that up to see if I'm right.........it's been about 50 years since I've learned it. I could be off a word or two. (Mrs. Myers would be so proud.)
