Ricardo (Gene)'s Story

[Updated June 18, 2015] NOT currently active on this site but do SEARCH Ricardo E. Baca at the FACEBOOK site! Well, since you're here, here's a synopsis about life since high school graduation on MAY 1968: On November, 2008, we moved BACK to Georgia from Albuquerque. In August of 2005 I retired and we thought that house in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains was to be our resting place. The entire 13 months we lived there was like one big vacation. Traveled almost everywhere around that state of NM, Arizona, California, etc. But in the end, Gran'Ma and I did miss the grandkids. I retired from AT&T after 28 years and thought going back to my home state after a 36 year absence would be great. It was wonderful but we missed our grandkids that all lived in Georgia and Virginia. We lived in Griffin, GA until June of 2012. It's remembered for being the home of Doc Holiday (of the Wyatt Earp and OK Corral fame). In April of 2011, THREE of five grandkids who lived within a short drive of us in Griffin, GA moved to Alpine, TX with their mom and dad. Only thing I could say here is... "If we would have stayed in Albuquerque, we'd be within a short driving distance of them, still. Well... Asi es la Vida! We finally gave in to the pull on our heart strings and moved our household to back to the grand State of Texas. Alpine is out in the Big Bend area of far West Texas but we only staye...Expand for more
d there for a couple of years. We again followed our grand kid's family to the GREAT COASTAL BEND OF TEXAS (close to Corpus Christi, TX) on January 1st 2014 where we currently remain... happy and almost healthy! PREQUEL: During my career in telecommunications, we lived in Amarillo, TX; Lubbock, TX; Detroit, MI; Ft. Lauderdale, FL and three times in the Atlanta area. Right after I retired from AT&T, I took the required courses which allowed me to pass the State of Georgia Insurance Licensing Exam and get my Agent License. Found out quickly... don't want to sell insurance and annuities. Even secured my certification to be a Mortgage Broker... Didn't want to pursue that either since the Real Estate business was going SOUTH! By the way... soon after graduating high school, I moved to Amarillo, TX around March of 1969. It was there that I met and married my one and only wife, Nicki and finally graduated from West Texas A&M (West Texas State University back then). We have three grown and married children that have blessed us with 7 grandchildren that now range in age from 10 years old to 22 years old. On June 9th, we've been blessed with our very first GREAT GRAND CHILD. My wife and I have invested ourselves in ALL that along with over 40 years together. So far... I wouldn't change a single thing that's happened to me since graduation day in 1968... Go Raton Tigers and God Bless America!
