Maxey Kempt:  

Life WELL HERE I AM UPDATING AGAIN THOUGH OUT THIS BIO AND IT IS NOW 27 JAN 2014I AM STILL WORKING FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, AND STILL PROGRAMING TRAINING SCENARIO'S. AT THE PRASENT TIME(27 JAN 2014) BUT I HAVE AN ASISTANT NOW WHO CAME ON BOARD ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, AND HE IS REALLY DOING A FINE JOB, LOVES TO WORK AND STAY BUSY. WELL IT HAS BEEN REAL BUSY THE PAST YEAR, AND I HAVE HAD ALOT TO DO ON THE JOB AND LEARNING NEW SOFTWARE. YOU KNOW YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE OVER GOING TO SCHOOL, BUT EVERY YEAR WE TAKE CLASSES ON SEXUAL ABUSE, AND ABOUT SAFETY AROUND THE RANGES, YOU REALLY HAVE TO READ EVERYTHING THEY GIVE YOU BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS TAKEING TEST EVERY QUARTER IN THE YEAR. IF WE DO NOT GO TO A CLASS ROOM THEN WE HAVE TO GO ONLINE AND READ SLIDES AND TAKE A TEST AFTERWORDS. HOW LONG WILL I STAY, I DON'DT KNOW . I KNOW THE CLASS HAS ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE RETIRED MAYBE ALONG TIME AGO, AND I GUESS YOU COULD CALL ME A TRIPPLE DIPPER, SINCE I COLLECT A MILITARY RETIREMENT, ALSO FULL SOCIAL SECURITY AND MY CHECK FROM MY PRESENT JOB, BUT I LOVE TO SPEND MONEY, SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT DO THAT. I AM GOING TO GET A NEW TOYOTA PICKUP IN MARCH, AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, THIS MAY WELL BE MY LAST VEHICLE. I SURE HATE DRIVING HUMMV VEHICLES, THEY WERE NOT MADE FOR A BIG PERSON. ALMOST FELL OUT OF MIND TODAY (27 JAN 14) ON THE RANGE, YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. I AM STILL DEVORCED BUT I STILL SEE MARY THOUGH OUT THE YEAR AT SPECAIAL OCCASIONS. SO WE DO GET ALONG. MY THREE GRAND CHILDREN ARE ALL GROWN UP AND ONE IS IN THE ARMY NOW, ONE GRANDSON IS A MACHANIC AND IN CHARGE OF JIFFY LUBE OUTSIDE OF TEH FORT HOOD BASE. MY GRANDDAUGHTER HAS REAL GOOD JOB AND SHE IS LIVING WITH HER GRAND MOTHER RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS GOOD GIVES MARY SOMEONE TO TALK TO. LOVE MY SOCIAL SECURITY, AND LET ME TELL YOU A TIP, MAKE SURE YOU ASK THEM TO TAKE OUT FED TAXES, BECAUSE THEY WON'T ASK YOU, AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR YOU COULD PAY. I TOOK OUT 17% AND IT WAS WORTH IT. COURSE I HAVE NO MONEY TO SHOW FOR IT, BUT I AM HAVING A BALL SPENDING IT, YES I KNOW I SHOULD BE SAVING IT WELL I MIGHT AFTER I BUY WHAT I WANT. IT'S JUST NICE TO HAVE MONEY IN MY POCKET FOR A CHANGE. I AM STILL COLLECTING MOVIES AND DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY I HAVE RIGHT NOW, AND I LOVE WORKING ON ANCESTOR, I THINK I MIGHT HAVE OVER 1000 PEOPLE IN MY TREE. IT IS REALLY AMAZING TO FIND OUT I HAVE ANCESTORS FROM ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, IRELAND AND CANADA, AND ALL OF THEM HAVE LIVED SUCH WONDERFUL LIVES. THE STORIES ARE RALLY SOMETHING, AND I GOT BAD GRADES IN HISTORY.I HAVE NOT WALKED IN ANY GRAVE YARDS FOR AWHILE, GUESS BECAUSE I AM SPEDING SO MUCH TIME ON ANCESTOR TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO THE KEMPTS WERE. I HAVE MET SOME LIVING COUSINS, AND IT IS NICE TO SEE PICTURES OF THEM. I YOU TRY OUT ANCESTOR ON THIER 14DAY TRAIL PERIOD, DO NOT THINK YOU CAN GATHER ALL THE INFO ON YOUR FAMILY IN THAT TIME AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE BEEN DOING ANCESTOR NOW SINCE 2008 AND I WISH I HAD ASKED MY MOM WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE MORE ABOUT THE FAMILY, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE EASIER ON ME. I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE FAMILY THAT IS DOING THIS SO I HAVE TO REALLY STICK THIS OUT AND TRY HARDER. I HAVE PEOPLE ON MY MOMS SIDE THAT GO BACK TO 1200 AND THEY ARE FROM SCOTTLAND, ENGLAND, AND A FEW OTHERS I CAN'T SPELL THEM. WELL I HAVE JUST FINISHED MY NEXT STORY ABOUT FISH CLEANING ON THE DOCKS IN WARRENTON AND IT GOES FROM 1957 THOUGH 1963 FOR ME ANYWAY AND 1965 FOR JIM FITCHA, WHAT A GREAT TIME WE HAD IN THOSE DAYS. JIM CORDELL WORKED IN THE WARRENTON MIRINA AND MIKE THOMPSON, JIM FITCHA AND MYSELF MAX KEMPT WORKED THE HENDERICKSON'S DOCKS. THE DOCUMENT IS FINISHED AND IT IS 100 PAGES LONG. I HAVE ADDED IT TO A DIRECTORY CALLED WARRENTON MEMORIES, AND I NOW HAVE I THINK 22 PDF FILES ON WARRENTON, FROM MY GRADE SCHOOL DAYS THOUGH HIGH SCHOOL, AND ALSO LOT OF THE CLASS REUNION'S AND MULTI CLASS REUNIONS. I HATE TO ADMIT I HAVE NOT MADE VERY MANY CLASS REUNIONS, BUT HAVE GOTTEN PICTURES FROM NEVA JO, AND WARREN HUBBARD WHICH IS GREAT. CLASS OF 63 HAD OUR 50TH CLASS REUNION IN SEPT AND IT WAS GREAT, I GOT TO SEE ALOT OF THE CLASS THAT I HAD NOT SEEN IN 40+ YEARS. I DO HOPE WE HAVE SOME MORE CLASS REUNIONS, EVEN THOUGH I AM GETTING OLDER, AND LIVE IN TEXAS I WILL ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE HOME TO OREGON FOR ONE IF I CAN. IT IS ALWAYS NICE TO SEE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS. ONE PLACE YOU SHOULD TRY TO GO IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO YET IS ED WEIGEL AND JANET GLOVER WEIGEL'S SITE, IT HAS MANY THINGS IN THEIR ON WARRENTON AND THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND GRADE SCHOOLS. YOU WON'T REGRET IT I PROMISE THOSE TWO HAVE WORKED VERY HARD TO GIVE THE ALUMI OF WARRENTO A PLACE TO VISIT AND GO BACK IN TIME AND SEE ALOT OF PEOPLE YOU USED TO BE AROUND WITH. I GO THEIR OFTEN AND INJOY A FEW MINS TO AN HOUR JUST GOING THROUGH ALL THE MATERIAL HE HAS. WELL I AM TAKING OUT THE FORT STEVENS NOTES, AS I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO PUT TOGETHER A PAMPLET ON IT, JUST DO NOT HAVE THE TIME RIGHT NOW. I DO HAVE ABOUT 8 BOOKS ON THE FORT STEVENS, AND OVER 1000 PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN FROM ALL OF THE FORTS THAT USED TO GUARD THE COLUMBIA RIVER, JUST HAVE TO FIND SOME TIME TO PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHE...Expand for more
