ROBERT's Story
HI... TO ALL THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN IN YEARS. A SINCERE GREETINGS! I JUST REVISITED THE 1983 MERCEDES YEAR BOOK AND FELL BACK IN MEMORY. THE FEELING IN MY GUT AND MIND IS AMAZINGLY ONE OF HAPPINESS AND AWE. I ASKED MYSELF, "WHERE DID TIME GO"?
ANYWAY, FOR THOSE INTERESTED, I AM HAPPILY MARRIED TO A WOMAN WHO SHARES MOST BUT NOT ALL OF MY INTERESTS. IT WILL BE SIXTEEN YEARS COME JULY OF 2015 THAT WE BECAME ONE. WE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN OF OUR OWN BUT THE CHILD DAYCARE CENTER WE OWN FILLS THAT VOID. HER NAME IS LETICIA AND SHE IS VERY INTELLIGENT AND BEAUTIFUL. WE HAVE THREE DOGS (PACO, LOLA AND NINA). OUR ALPHA DOG, MACHITO, DIED IN FEBRUARY OF 2012. HE WAS RUN OVER ONCE, SHOT TWICE (BY ME) AND WITHSTOOD MANY DOGFIGHTS. AS AN OLD FRIEND, MAY HE REST IN PEACE! ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN AND CERTAINLY HE ADORNS GOLDEN WINGS. OUR KITTY CAT, TAMMY, PASSED IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. SHE WAS WELL CARED FOR AND DEARLY LOVED DURING HER FOURTEEN YEARS WITH US. MAY GOD BLESS HER. HER ANTICS AND JUST BEING A FELINE MADE THE CAT A BEAUTIFUL MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY.
I OBTAINED A BUSINESS DEGREE IN FINANCE FROM PAN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY AND AFTERWORDS LIVED A CARE FREE LIFESTYLE OF A BACHELOR. I WAS EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF EDINBURG AS AN ACCOUNTANT AND HOUSING GRANT WRITER. I WAS THEN HIRED BY THE EDINBURG HOUSING AUTHORITY AS IT'S FIRST TIME HOME BUYER COORDINATOR AND IN-HOUSE GRANT WRITER. I GOT TO TRAVEL EXTENSIVELY AND MADE MANY FRIENDS IN THE HOUSING INDUSTRY. HOWEVER, IN TIME, I GOT BORED AND WANTED A CHANGE IN CAREER. I DECIDED A TEACHING CAREER. I SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO BE A FOOTBALL COACH AND TEACH DRIVER'S ED. BUT, INSTEAD, AFTER OBTAINING A TEACHING CERTIFICATE, I TAUGHT GOVERNMENT AND ECONOMICS AT P-SJ-A MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL TO GRADUATING SENIORS . IT WAS GREAT AND NO REGRETS!!! BUT, AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, THE DAYCARE GREW IN SIZE AND CLIENTELE. MY RESPONSIBILITIES CHANGED TO THE BUSINESS. I DO ALL THE FINANCIAL AND GOVERNMENTAL REPORTS WHICH IS NO PROBLEM. I MOSTLY WORK OUT OF OUR HOME WHERE MY OFFICE WAS CREATED FROM ONE OF OUR GUEST ROOMS. I LOVE IT, BUT SOMETIMES I CATCH MYSELF TELLING JOKES TO MY CAT "TAMMY". SHE MEOWS AND I FEEL SOMEWHAT FOOLISH. OH WELL, I AM MY OW...Expand for more
N BOSS EXCEPT WHEN LETI RAISES HER EYEBROWS. SHE IS A DOLL!
NOW THAT I HAVE SETTLED DOWN AND HAVE TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILTY'S OF A HUSBAND AND SURROGATE FATHER, LIFE IS DIFFERENT THROUGH MY BROWN EYES. I LIVE IN PHARR NOW AND NEAR THE STADIUM WHERE I PLAYED MY FIRST FOOTBALL GAME. OUR DAYCARE CENTER IS JUST ONE BLOCK AWAY. OUR HOME IS JUST TWO BLOCKS AWAY.
MY HOBBIES ARE (OF COURSE) BBQ-ING AND COOKING ANYTHING IN THE KITCHEN. I LOVE TO SLOW SMOKE CHICKEN IN THE BACK YARD WHILE I SIT AND DRINK LONE STAR BEER,- LAWN CHAIRED, AND SHOOTING WHITE WING DOVES OFF THE TELEPHONE WIRE WITH A BB GUN. IT TAKES A LITTLE SKILL, AS ONLY A HEAD SHOT WILL DO, BUT I HAVE HONED MY SIGHTS TO A NICKLE AT TWENTY YARDS FOR THE SHOT. MY FREEZER IS FULL (TEE-HEE). I LOVE FRYING QUAIL AND WHITE WING BREASTS. MY WIFE SAYS IT IS THE MOST NATURAL FOOD SHE'S EVER EATEN AND ENCOURAGES ME. HOWEVER, SHE IS STILL ADAMANT THAT WE ARE TWO WOMEN IN A KITCHEN - SHE IS RIGHT.
I MOSTLY KEEP TO MYSELF, BUT NOT ALL OF THE TIME. MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IS A BORDER PATROL AGENT AND WHEN I WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE F.B.I. ON HIS BEHALF, I TOLD THE F.B.I., AND I QUOTE, "I PERSONALLY VOUCH FOR HIM!"
I MISS ALL MY CLASSMATES, EVEN THOSE WITH WHICH I WAS NOT A CLOSE FRIEND. I LOOK BACK AND WONDER HOW DID I MISS SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO BE CLOSER TO SOMEONE? WELL, THANKS TO THE POWERS THAT BE AND THANK YOU COMPUTER AGE FOR BEING ABLE TO REACH AND COMMUNICATE WITH SOMEONE AND OR ANYONE.
MY HAIR IS SOMEWHAT STARTING TO GRAY AND MY BARBER LAUGHED WHEN I TOLD HIM MY AGE. I SAID IT WAS GENETIC BECAUSE MY FATHER WAS ALREADY SILVER HAIRED BY THE TIME HE WAS FORTY (HA-HA). ASIDE FROM THE SLIGHT CHANGING OF MY HAIR, I STILL FEEL GOOD AND I AM PERPETUALLY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD.
THAT SAID, I WELCOME ANY AND ALL CLASSMATES TO CONTACT ME OR JUST SHARE ANY GOOD MEMORIES. GO TIGERS!!! MY BLOOD STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BLEED ORANGE AND WHITE.
BOBBY.
