Harry's Story

Life What a wild joyful ride life has been. Attended MSU Sept 64 - December 65...spend more time playing hearts and spades than in doing my class work. Active duty with Army Feb 66 - Dec 69. Back to good ole MSU and finally graduated in 1972. Married Bette Eppes (East 65) in June 70. Worked with Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Sept 1972 - Jan 1976. We moved to Abilene TX for graduate school. Left Abilene in 1978 and returned to Mississippi where we worked at Sunnybrook Children's Home. In 1980 moved to Memphis where I attended Harding Graduate School and worked at the Regional Organized Crime Information Center followed by work as an associate minister at Union Ave Church of Christ. In 1983 we moved back to Mississippi and then in January 1985 I went back on active duty with the US Army as a chaplain, retiring in December 2001. However, Bette said I couldn't retire, so I found a job with the US Navy at Millington as a Resource Manager for Navy Construction Projects around the world. Bette also works for the Navy as a Child Development Specialist inspecting their programs throughout the world....Expand for more
I also conduct weddings, funerals, premarital education, and couple enrichment and communication training. We live out by Shelby Forest in a home that I would never have thought possible when growing up down by Cherokee School. Oh well, am still having fun and enjoying life. Some good things in life: Wayne Carlton's email and phone call in Dec 2001 to welcome me back to Memphis. An email from Bob Matlock at about the same time. I get to attend a reunion in 2005 I have two great kids and a really neat grandson even if he can't talk yet. Some fond High school memories: District 17 Paper station with Dexter, Butch, Tank, and a host of others Dexter and a telephone pole in front of Bette's house (Ha I married her anyway and its been almost 35 years) Matlock's House the morning after Our Town, and The Welcome Wagon Others too numerous to mention. Could say more, but then I would just be rambling. Hope all 64 65 and 66 classmates who look at this at least check the reunion website and provide an update of your contact information if you haven't already done so.
