Robin's Story

I think I surprised everyone and ended up in college. I went 2 years at Crowder and then took my last 2 years at Pitt State in Pittsburg, Kansas. I graduated in 1976, with a BST. I got married between my junior and senior year and am still married to the same woman. We celebrated 33 years of marriage in June of 2008. I moved to Iowa and taught mechanics for 3 years at a jr. college in Creston, Iowa. My first child was born there in July of 1978, a daughter, Jennifer. We moved back to Missouri in 1979 and lived in the Stark City area til 2003. I taught at Crowder and helped my dad with the farm . I ended up teaching another 8 years at Crowder. In 1988, I started working for Oreilly Auto parts, who I am working for presntly. My family had grown to include 2 sons by then, Patrick, born in 1983 and Thomas, born in 1985. I have worked for Oreilly for a total of 16 years, doing everything from delivering parts to managing a store. I now work in Customer Service for the stores. I work in a call center, talking calls from the store personnal on part numbers, special order items, helping then figure out what part the customer needs and giving advice and direction.

ve done this the last 7 years and it is more like teaching and I really enjoy it. I never figured I would move out of Newton county again, but we moved to Republic in 2003 and then to Springfield in November of 2006. My wife had been working at Sunbeam and lost her job in Feb of 2001. Because my dad had to be in a nursing home, we lost claim to the farm and decided to move closer to my work in Springfield. Thomas had graduated and Patrick and Jenny were living in Joplin and Neosho, so we felt it was time to change. Thomas went into the Army, something he had planned on doing for several years and has done pretty well. He is now a Sargent, and is on his third tour of Iraq. He is due back in November of 2008. Some would say I have never grown up. I got in to music heavy in college and have followed the hard rock/metal scene for years. I figure I have gone to over 100 concerts and have seen groups such as AC/DC to Deep Purple, to ZZ Top, to Pink Floyd and nurmous metal bands, like Ratt, Trimuph, Dokken, and newer metal groups, like Static X, Disturbed, Lamb of God, Mushroom Head, Rob Zombie, and many others. I am going to stop now but will add more later.9/07/08
