Then graduated from U of L with a business degree In 1960. In 2011 I attended U of L's Golden Jubilee Reunion. Again had cap and gown and walked with the new grads. Worked in management for many years with the Social Security Administration until I retired in Kings Mountain, NC in 1989. Moved to Dallas, NC in 2008. First married Dolores Schlageter (sister of Buddy)but she died of cancer in 1993. We had three children. Remarried to Vickey Martin Elliott in 1995. She was a Media Specialist at a local high School, now retired We like to travel and usually take four or five major trips a year, of which one is usually to Europe or Asia. Went on a three week tour of China and Hong Kong in 2005. It was wonderful and we had a great learning experience. In 2006 we toured Northern Mexico and the Copper Canyon.

nd Fiji Island. Also took a transatlantic cruise to Europe and flew to Iceland for a tour. cruised the Panama Canal in November 2013. In April 2013 we traveled to South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana for game safari es. . We have now traveled to ninety five countries. Our goal is a hundred. In 2014 we went to Antarctica and several countries in South America. In 2015 we toured SE Asia. This made all seven continents, I enjoy genealogy, Civil War Research, and giving talks about consumer affairs and travel. Do you remember how shy I was. We are very involved with our church. Had some rough bumps in life, don't we all, but having a wonderful life with many blessings from Christ. My sister died in recent years, so I don't have anyone left in Clarksville, IN or area. Growing up in Clarksville I would never have dreamed of having the life I have lived. Probably you never thought I would either. At that time I had nothing, but so did a lot of you. In Feb 2015 we traveled to Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand . This was 28 days and 14 flights. Not bad for an old man. Updated Feb 2016. 2018 We cruised to Cuba and in Nov 30 day cruise to Brazil and down the Amazon River.
