Ricky's Story
Life
I currently have secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis and in a wheelchair. I am 100% + service connected disability because I came down with it during my USN service.
I live in Jackson and my mother takes care of me.
For the future......only GOD knows, and He is not telling me.
School
Easy to say that the teachers that inspired me were Mrs. Chaney, Mr. Wendal Chapman, Mr. Bob Chapman (guidanc office), and Mr. Bob Crawford (BEST band instructor JHS has EVER seen).
College
Dragging myself to class? Hardly! I was there BEFORE most of my prof. Except for 1 prof, almost had to drag me away from her. I still dream of her after these years. The lovely Paula Thompson, of Creative Writing, Engligish 101, and ...Expand for more
many others I took JUST to be near her.
Oh how I miss seeing and/or hearing from her!
Workplace
Taught 1/4 at Rio, Hydraulics & Pneaumatics.
Went to Newport News Shipbuilding as a "SUBSAFE" engineer for 1 year, then transfered to Nuclear Testing for New construction on the USS Wasington and USS Lincoln and refueling on the USS Enterprise.
Military
At Great Lakes, I was in Co. 128 in 1979.
At Pearl Harbor, I was in shop 31-D, (Pump & Valve).
In Iceland, I spent 6 months in Base Security & Incoming Customs, Then 6 months working at the LOX Plant (liquid oxygen, liquid nitron)
On the USS John F. Kennedy, I also woked in the LOX plant.
I loved all my assignments, but really loved being on Base Police at USNS Keflavick.
