Lawrence's Story
Updated on September 23, 2009
Greetings!
Life on a short note: parents moved from Ohio to Texas in 1978. Graduated in 1980. After high school, served four years - from 1981 to 1985 - in the military (U.S. Navy). I was a "lucky" medic stationed with the U.S. Marine Corps and got to do many things most people would not want - or care - to do (from parachuting - Airborne trained- to very long hikes with 90 lbs of equiptment on my back which is also known as a force march).
After my time in the service, I went to college and earned my BA from Texas A&M University in 1989. Moved to Washington, DC and worked on "the Hill" for a short time, meeting diverse politicians from Phil Graham & Bob Dole to Ted Kennedy. I then transitioned from "political stuff" to medical sales.
Got married in 1993. A job change brought us ...Expand for more
back to Texas in 1994. I now have three daughters who are currently: 12, 10, and 8 years of age. We live just outside of Houston, Texas (The Woodlands). My wife remains at home. I remain in the medical industry.
To sum it all up, time feels like it has moved as fast as this short paragraph. I will add that if life sounds perfect, it is because I have not added all the dirt. Believe me, it is there. You are only getting the best aspects.
In closing, please do not hesitate to drop a line. From kindergarten to our senior year in high school, memories are always fun to recall (even if it might need a little kick to help recall certain events).
Take care, God bless, and write when you can. It is always nice to have a little blast from the past.
Sincerely,
Larry Batton
