John's Story
Life
My Air Force career took me to some beautiful (and some not so . . . ) places (Texas, South Korea, Washington DC, Colorado, Hawaii, and Missouri). After retiring from the USAF in 1988, I adopted a new career--teaching business, computer literacy and programming courses at the community college level. The Air Force was kind enough to facilitate (i.e., pay for) my MBA degree early on in that career, and I was able to earn an Education Specialist degree several years later to assist me in my teaching career. I am now double-retired. My wife, an RN, has her master's degree and taught the health occupations curriculum at the local Area Career Center. She is now also retired. Our son graduated from Central Missouri State University (now University of Central Missouri) and worked in advertising (most recently as an advertising creative director) for sever...Expand for more
al years. He has now transitioned those skills to a new career in mortgage lending. Our daughter graduated from Southwest Missouri State University (now Missouri State University) and then went on for her master's degree in social work from St. Louis University. After serving as a a social worker for the state of Missouri and in a hospital ER and 5+ years as an adoption specialist, she is currently working as director of social services for an adoption agency in eastern Kansas. In April 2012, she and her husband welcomed their second son. Our son and his wife have blessed us with three beautiful girls (and there is absolutely no bias on my part ;-) ). Kansas allows a learners permit at 14, so 4 of the 5 grands are now driving . . . 2 on permits and 2 with regular licenses. And the 5th is "biting at the bit." He's still got a few years to go though. 😎
