Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Wilbur Banner


Too many moves but finally settled in Fredericksburg, a great place to live. Graduated from Texas A&M in 1965 and met my spouse in San Angelo. I served 5 years in the US Air Force in Alaska and Michigan and Fort Worth, then spent almost 30 years with the US Bureau of Reclamation in Colorado and Utah as an Environmental Specialist. After early retirement I have worked as a business property appraiser and mapper in Pagosa Springs Colorado and Fredericksburg, Tx. We have moved approx. 20 times and now I plan on really retiring this year to have some fun at home. We love dogs and have over the years enjoyed English Bulldogs and Bostons. Now we have a Chiweeni (part weenie dog and part chiwawa) (sp). She is smarter than a lot of people Ha! Blessings!!! Wil (my new nickname since I've always hated my name)
