Van's Story
Life
Hello all of my old classmates. I left Port Lavaca finally in 1997 after 25 years of Union carbide and raising my Daughter Vanessa. My wife Lisa and I have moved around with Alcoa from Port Lavaca to 100 miles north of Seattle for 6 years, to Knoxville TN. for 3 years, now off to Gijon Asturias Spain been here for 2 weeks and staying here for 3 to 5 years, she is still working for Alcoa and I am still a house husband and retired.

There are snow covered mountains within an hour drive by car and a paved up and down winding trail along the rocky coast as far as you want to walk pant pant pant.

Okay I am back in Knoxville as of June 2009, where the English Language is used and I am happier. More later.
