William's Story
Life
I went to St.Joe Public School,a small school in northern Arkansas. I dropped out at 16, got my GED i joined the National Guard in 88. I was in my second semester at NACC when my unit was alerted for Desert Storm. After desert storm, I took some art classes in college even did very well. I recieved an art scholarship. I used the money i saved from desrt storm to buy a small house trailer. My girlfriend (later my wife), Karen, moved to Conway and I finished my art education degree while there.
Karen and I were married in march of 93. My first Regular Army duty assignment was in Germany. I was there a year then I was deployed to Bosnia. Karen had our third child while I was in Bosnia. He was born with downs. Billy lights up my life with his beaming personality. Karen passed away the following april. She had came down with thyroid cancer and we did not catch it...Expand for more
