Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Charles E. (Chuck) Smith


I'm a 1954 grad of WTHS. Aug '54 I joined the US Army for three years. I got a two month early release and attended Wingate College. Finished summer school and had to drop out before I could finish the fall semester due to lack of funds. Reentered the Army in Nov '58 and stayed until May '79. Retired as a Command Sergeant Major with 23 yrs, 3 mos. 15 of those years was with Special Forces (Green Berets) 1960-75. I was in before the beret was authorized. In 1962 President Kennedy visited S.F. at Ft Bragg and witness our demonstration of skills. He was so impressed, he said to the Commanding General, "You need a mark of distinction; a badge of courage." The General recommended the "Green Beret" JFK passed that suggestion and two months later it became the official headgear for Special Forces. The only beret authorized at that time. My civilian career took me into Solid Waste Management. I implemented a collection program that involved a driver only and a 90 gallon collection container that was collected by the driver using in the cab levers that extended a mechanical arm that picked up the can, dumped it in the truck hooper and returned the can to it previous location. This system collected 250% more homes per day per route. I automated Abilene, Tx.; Newport News, Va., and lastly, Dallas, Tx. I retired from Dallas at age 60. Moving around to seven states in the next 14 years found me finally settling in Tenn. Retired life is great.
