Ed's Story

Life In 1968 I married my high school sweetheart, Sally Coulter. Sally graduated from Woodlands HS. To avoid the draft, I enlisted in the USAF and spent 25 years on active duty. Our assignments took us to Taiwan, Virginia, Hawaii, Labrador and 2 tours in California. We retired from the AF in Sacramento (Travis AFB) in 1992 and stayed there until 1997 (after both girls graduated from college.) We then moved to Austin, Texas. Our older daughter, Jennifer was getting a job transfer and wanted us to come - so we did. Our younger daughter, Katie, joined us in Austin in 2000. I currently work for the US post office in Dripping Springs, TX. It is about 20 miles outside Austin in the beautiful Texas hill country. The post office is in a small town and I have gotten to know almost all the residents so it makes my job a pleasant one. I plan to retire in 3-4 years. In 2000, Sally quit her career (medical/dental office management and medical transcription) to become a fulltime nanny/Grammy to our first granddaughter. ...Expand for more
She has since been the full time caregiver for all 3 grandchildren. It is a very rewarding job but definately hard work! Our life is good. We have a wonderful "retirement" house in Austin and see our family often. We are really looking forward to the reunion in July! Ed Kraker Military I joined the USAF in 1967 when I became concerned about the draft. My 4 year tour took me to Taiwan and California. I was married and had my first daughter when I got out of the service in 1971. After a year I elected to make the Air Force a career and reentered. The next 20 years were spent in Virginia (where my second daughter was born). Hawaii, a remote tour in Labrador and several bases in N. California. I retired from Travis AFB, California in 1993. We never had any regrets about making the military our career. We became a very close knit family as a result. Our daughters enjoyed the travel and we had the luxury of flying to Hawaii every summer, courtesy of the Air Force and space A travel. It was a wonderful life.
