Roger's Story
Life
I met My Spouse at Naval Nuclear Power School, Orlando, FL. She was "rolled-back" to my class after being out of school more than 10 days. We have been married for 28 years at this point. We live about a mile from the area they kept showing on the news during Ike, with the boats all over the highway (Seabrook).
My Pets
OB-1 is a bizarre cat who only drinks from the faucet. He seems to think hands are fair game to attack.
My Kids
Spike-who lives in Dallas, is in grad school. My other kids (from a previous marriage) are grown.
My Job
Some days I stand in a room full of teen-agers and talk. Other days I actually teach stuff.
College
After serving in the military for 20 years,...Expand for more
I went to National university in California, where I received a BA in interdisciplinary studies (teaching degree) and a Masters in Computers and Education. As it was a private college, designed for working adults, there wasn't much outside distraction, so instead of majoring in things like beer, we had the booring majors, but managed to graduate in a reasonably short time frame.
Workplace
At present, I teach computer programming and engineering at a new high school. Previously, I was in Galveston, which suffered serious damage from IKE.
Military
I spent 20 years riding submarines. As a "steely-eyed killer from the deep" I got to see quite a few other countries while I served mine.
