Michael's Story
So many old friends have signed in here I guess it's my turn to catch up. The following is a boring summary of my life...
When we (Mom, Dad, & brothers) left Kountze they headed for Wolfe City, TX - just North of Greenville (actually, if you take 69N you'll eventually come within about 10 miles or our house), and I went to New Orleans for the summer. I ended up in Dallas - went to school here and there - and met Robin. We married in August, 1978.
Together we've survived four kids - two boys and two girls - the boys (Adam and Joshua) have married and given us four Grandkids so far - three girls and one boy). We're still married.
(warning - boring work stuff)
Most of my life I've worked with generator controls. I've been working for a switchgear manufacturer that's based in Hingham, MA for the last 16 years.

I like to fancy myself as a photographer - don't make any money at it (well OK - $88 last year). The Grandkids are a good excuse to buy expensive camera gear.
Some of you may remember the Dodge Challenger I had my senior year - me and that car had to spend a few hours in jail for racing through Dallas - luckily no one was hurt - and I sold the car shortly after our first son was born - man I liked that car!
Let's see, what else... various forms of facial hair - I really hate shaving. In 1995 I came home from a job badly needing a haircut and noticed that things were getting a little thing on top so I buzzed it sitting on our front porch and have been wearing it that way since.
