After high school I tried some college but didn't go far. Worked several years for Tracor and then 15 yrs for Westinghouse in Round Rock. I became an elder, then Assoc. Pastor in my non denominational church. During that time I left Westinghouse and started a home business raising exotic birds and then emus. In 2007 my wife went to be with the lord. My adult downs syndrome son still lives with me. My other sons live locally which includes my two grandsons. I've been a chaplain with the Georgetown Police Dept. since 1997. I co-own a COD4 gaming server where I spend time with friends. My main hobby is radio controlled models which I've been doing since 1958. I also enjoy shooting and building guns.
I'm a passionate Christian and lover of my country.

A student from each high school wrote about the happenings at their school and then it was published in the Sunday paper. Each school had a "catchy" name, Austin was Maroon Musings, McCallum was 'Callum Clues and Travis was Travis Drawl. Enjoy reading about the days when you were at Travis.
