Robby's Story

Updated July 2023. Time sure flies, hard to believe its been been 50 years since graduation. I was supposed to graduate in 1971 with all the people I was with 1st - 12th. grade, but, due to one English class and my stupidity, I graduated officially in 1972. Looks like I was missing the day of the 1969-71 annual photos, but made it in the 1972. The "now" picture is dog sledding in Alaska 2014, me with youngest daughter and oldest Grand Daughter. It was a cruise...a great trip. History: Got married right out of high school and joined the Air Force.. I was in the last group of kids that got draft numbers during Vietnam conflict. My first assigned base was hardship Myrtle Beach AFB, now closed, and first job was as an aircraft weapons mechanic--bombs & ammo . The AF was good to me, but I took a 3 year break in service and came back to Kingsport working at the Revco Drug Store as the out-front manager. . I remarried in 1976. Teresa, my wife of 36 years died in 2011 unexpected heart attack-- I miss her greatly. I rejoined the AF in 1977 and cross-trained into the computer programmer/network field. My best assignment was the 4.5 years we spent in Oahu, Hawaii. It was summer all year round and the ...Expand for more
kids loved it. I stayed in for 20+ years and retired, as an E-8 in 1996 at the Pentagon. Retired on a Friday went back to work on Monday, same seat, as a Network/Engineer contractor for large company. After working for that company for a few years, I decided to see if I could start my own company. I saw how much $$ they were charging the Government for me and figured I could saved the government money and provide better pay and benefits to myself--Win-Win. I'm supporting an Air Force agency in the Pentagon, but now it's my small company. We provide the computer, network support. I have 3 daughters and 5 grand kids. One daughter lives in Johnson City and the rest up here next to DC. Newer, update . I bought retirement home in Gray TN on Boone Lake 2015, just in time for the for the problem with the dam leakage.--7 years no water at property, but the dam is now fixed and i moved TN full time in 2021.. I'm still on contract and return to N-VA about every 5 weeks to work on-site. It would be good to hear from old friends that grew up with. Been looking for Freddie Robinson and Patricia Stamper Robinson just in case anyone knows if they are alive and still in area. Robby (Rob/OZ)
