Luke's Story
I left B.H.S. and went to college at Midwestern. My four year degree quickly turned into a five year degree and I managed to graduate with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I had intentions of going into probation or parole but ended up taking the police entrance exam for the Dallas and Plano Police Departments. Luckily, I was hired by Plano and reported for work in September 1983. I have been assigned to the Patrol, Narcotics, Crime Prevention and Criminal Investigation Divisions. I have served on our Tactical Team and have taught the D.A.R.E. program in Plano elementary schools. I have spent 25 glorious (?) years here.
While in one of these schools, a pretty second grade teacher, Susie McGraw, caught my eye. She was raised in Austin and an A & M graduate, so how could I go wrong? We were married in 1994 and Susie obtained her Masters in Education from N.T.S.U. Claire Alexandra was born about a month after the 1998 class reunion. Susi...Expand for more
e then brought Madeline Grace to our family in 2000. I can truly say that being a husband and a father are the two greatest jobs a guy can have!
Susie loves to travel, as do our kids, and we spend a great deal of our time doing that.
Susie quit teaching after Madeline was born and soon found a way to make the thoughts of blankies, diapers and towels, which she was surrounded with, make money. On a lark she started Swankie Blankie, a wholesale baby gift business. She now finds herself a purveyor of fine baby gifts to about 400-500 specialty children stores across the world. She is a smart business woman and extremely successful.
I still maintain great relationships with my BHS friends, Stephen Felty of Burkburnett and Jeff Leonard (our esteemed valedictorian) who lives near me in Dallas.
I have been very fortunate and blessed and can attribute part of this to the great years and "life lessons" I picked up at Burkburnett High School.
