Charles 's Story

Life I moved back to Oklahoma after H.S.graduation. I attended Sayre Jr College 1 year.I transferred to Southwestern State University, college of Pharmacy. I graduated in 1965 with B.S. in Pharmacy. I married a girl from Lawton, Oklahoma. We took a job in Irving,Texas for Skillern Drug Co.(owned by Zales Corp).We bought our first home there and had 2 children, both boys, 22 months apart in age. Their names Todd Rice and Bryan Rice. My wife was a teacher in the Irving School System. Both boys attended school there. I had the opportunity to buy Central Pharmacy in Altus, Oklahoma in 1980. I sold the pharmacy 25 years later due to my wifes health. Diana was diagnosed with breast cancer about 2 years ago. She had surgery, chemo and radiation. She goes for regular check-ups in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I wanted her to be close to her parents, who live in Branson, Missouri (actually Hollister, Mo.)Her 2 sisters and husbands live in the same area. We moved because I wanted her to be with the family that she loved dearly, just in case her life was cut short. If not, then we are in a great place to be retired or semi-retired. There are alot of nice lakes here to trout fish in. Also other lakes such as Tablerock Lake and Bull Shoals. Lake Taneycomo is the trout lake.

re currently raising our grandson, Steven Cade. We have had him all of his life(6 years) and are tickled pink to get to raise and love him. I simply live for that little boy. I work about 2 days a week. I guess I am too use to working, I dont want to be off 7 days a week,however, 4 or 5 is fine.It keeps me current on new drugs,etc in Pharmacy plus have chance to meet people who have lived here a long time. There is alot of entertainment here. I have one son that lives in Altus (Bryan). He and a friend are in business together. I also have a son in San Diego, California graduating this May from Law School. Todd is my oldest son, an ex-marine, pilot, etc. I lost him to suicide about 3 1/2 years ago. This nearly finished me. I miss him so much. I love my family with all my heart and I miss him. We are enjoying Steven Cade playing flag football, and basketball and soccer. I enjoy the stock market alot and am continuing buying oil and gas wells. I like the area near Ft.Worth,Texas area the Barnett shale; also the East Texas play in Cotton Valley.I really find it interesting and rewarding. I recently made contact with Bob Weaver. I had some visits with Cary Don Smith sometime back, but lost his phone number and e-mail. I know he is in Clovis, New Mexico. I would like to hear from my friends from McLean, Texas.
