Charles's Story
Life
I'm still married to the same great woman after 25+ years. We have 4 children, and 3 of them are living with us in Lexington, KY.
I am still very much involved in music, although I did not pursue it as a career as I thought I would in high school. I play the trumpet and am involved in choir and special music at our church, Tabernacle Baptist Church. I was priviledged to be the choir director at our previous church in Northern KY for about 8 years.
I have been a computer programmer/analyst since graduating from Morehead State University in 1979, and ironically, am currently working at the first place I worked when I got out of college: Ashland, Inc., then called Ashland Oil, Inc.
When my wife and I first got married in 1981, we moved to New Orleans, Louisiana to find work. There was a senior employee there in my group named Charlie, so I told them to call me b...Expand for more
y my middle name Mike so there'd be a difference.
Family still know me as Charlie, but everyone from '81 on calls me Mike.
Hobbies include hiking, biking, and working on my website, MotorSportsNews dot Net, the home of the FREE Stock Car Gazette e-zine. I had always been interested in automobiles (my grandfather owned Irwin's Garage on Carter Ave., behind the McDonalds on Winchester Ave. in Ashland), and I started following stock car racing in the '80s. The expansion of the Internet led me to working with another guy on a stock car racing newsletter, and then, nearly 5 years ago, starting my own website and e-zine/newsletter.
I'd love to correspond with old classmates, particularly choral students of Mrs. Helen Myers and band students of my dad, Ronald Irwin.
Dad is 83 years old and in pretty good health, all things considered. He and my mother still live in Raceland.
