Life Well, since I left Humes '64 the first thing I got was a JOB.....I should have gone on to college but I thought I was smart enough at the time...................lol Actually I came from a rather large family and I loved clothes and other nice things so I decided to go to work........I went to work at American Finishing Co. off third street for three years as a bookkeeper.............it was a plant that made material and I worked in one of the offices...........learned a lot about life....I had lived such a "sheltered" one..........my daddy was very strict and I missed out on so much while in school because of what he believed was sinful at the time........Thank God he finally mellowed out by the time some of the other kids left home........anyway, I moved out on my own with three other roommates. I never stopped going to my dad's church, I just changed a few things about myself that living under his roof would have certainly brought down his "wrath"..........you know like cutting my hair.......some have asked what happened to my ponytail.......well, I just tell them when I became of age(which was my freedom) I wracked that thing off and I haven't worn one since......it is kinda funny though because they are very much in style now......I got married in 1968.........married a preacher's son that had an upholstery business in Earle, AR.......I lived in Earle for about 14 years working at the elementary school....I moved to Wynne so my two sons would be more intellectually challenged and become "rocket" scientists or something I continued working for the school system for 19 years........anyway, it was a good move and both of my children are better citizens today than they would have been if I had not made this very import...Expand for more
