School
While in H.S. at Cottage Grove I had the pleasure of having Les Corey as a teacher and a mentor. He taught world history, mentored the chess club and served as a great personal example to all the students. I checked in with him every year or two for the past four decades to let him know what and how I was doing and to find out how the Corey family was getting along. I was saddened to learn of his passing last year but his legacy will continue as long as a single student of his remains.

rom Oklahoma City University, which I followed up with a law degree (Juris Doctorate). Just for fun I took a Master course in military history and received a MA in 1990.
After enlisting in the Marine Corps I was sent to Air Traffic Control school. After 3 years I went to flight school followed up immeadiatly by Vietnam. I seperated from active duty in 1972 and retired from the reserves in 1990.
The Federal Aviation Administration hired me as an air traffic controller in 1973 and in 1975 I transferred to Flight Inspection where I flew business jets primarily, checking the navigation aids around the world.
In 1985 I resigned from the FAA to practice law in Oklahoma City. I concentrated in the area of aviation law until appointed as a federal judge in Fresno, California in 1996.
It is now 2009 and I am about to retire and look forward to traveling with my wife, photography, reading and enjoying the family.
