Johnny's Story
Life
Where, oh where to begin.
Was almost drafted right out of High School, but joined the Navy.
Served 1967-1971. Like an idiot, I got married while I was in the Navy and had a daughter before I got out.
Then returned to Fort Walton Beach, Florida and helped in my families Bicycle Shop for about four months before going to work with Southern Airways at Eglin AFB. While with the airlines, I worked not only at Eglin, But Orlando, FL, Panama City, FL, Back to Eglin then to Nashville, TN. I left the airlines in 1984 after 13 years of service. I was Operations Supervisor when I went to work in the travel Industry.
While in Nashville, I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University wih a B.S.in Aerospace Administration. I was invited back to serve as Adjunct Faculty for two years in 1982-83.

married again later that year. That marriage lasted 9 years.
With that, I moved to Birmigham Alabama and worked as DOD Contractor, again doing travel.
In 1998, I moved back to Knoxville to be near my aging mother and father. Unfortunately, I remarried and this one lasted only 4 years.
I am now single, but have two foster children which I adopted in 2002. Carmen is 11 and Shawn is 10. I have a Miniature Poodle named Bridgette Bardog. I work as a DOE contractor doing travel for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
I have visited 47 of the 50 states, I have sailed 5 of the 7 seas. I have visited 19 Foreign Countries.
I am in good health but like most, the grey hair won't stay away, But I am still the Johnny Cate I always was.
