William's Story
1974 - Joined a construction union immediately after graduation and got married (Big Mistake!). The union thing worked out well, the marriage didn't. We do have a son, Rick who is 6'5" tall and a martial arts expert - watch out!
1986 - I married a second time to Chris Myrick (Class of 79), we're as happy today (2009) as we were when we first wed. We had a child late in life, Billy who was born ten years later in 1996. Beautiful, healthy and happy; what more can you ask for...

Most of my spare time these days is taken up remodeling our 30 year old Colonial Style home in Maryland or tinkering with my Jeep.
To use a sports metaphor to describe my life so far, I'd say I have hit a home-run!
