Richard's Story

Life After graduating in 1989, I went straight into the army. I was lucky enough to be involved in Desert Shield/Storm and had a tour in Korea as well. My wife, Katha, and I were married in 1994 and welcomed our first child into the world in April 2001. Our oldest daughter is Kylie LouAnn Ferguson. We had our second child, Kayla Choice Ferguson, on April23, 2003. I would love to hear from old classmates, especially from band (concert or the jazz band) and ROTC. Anyone know where Chris Azar, Randy Corvin, Pete Buchanan, Henry Balthis, Mike Crenshaw, and Wayne Pendleton are??

She was Jennifer Barham, and she was more than a girlfriend, but she was one of my best friends. Sadly, she passed away in 1991 and I never got to say goodbye. I loved band, especially Jazz band, 12th grade. Mr. Broadneux was one of the best teachers I've ever had, even through college. It devastated us when he died mid-way through our senior year. I was also an ROTC cadet, making my way up to cadet Colonel and the wing commander. I used that training and knowledge to help me when I joined the army. I should have joined the Air Force, but I met my wife while in the army. That was the best thing to ever come out of my time in the army. College I didn't go to a 4-year college. I took about a year's worth of general studies classes while in the army. When I go out, I attended ITT Technical Institute i...Expand for more
