Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Doug Thompson


After high school I was so ready to leave Dumas and now I look back on my days there as some of the best of my single life. I attended college at WTA&M with a double major. I graduated with a BBA in Computer Science and a BA in Economics. I minored in Military Science and was in ROTC so after graduation I owed Uncle Sam some time. But first I married my college sweetheart Evelyn Burgin of Groom, Texas. We had dated throughout college and married in August of 1969 after graduation. She was, is, and always will be the light of my life. I received my commission as a 2nd Lt. in the US Army on the same day as graduation so I was immediately shipped out to Ft. Gordon Georgia to the Signal Officers School. I spent my time in the Army as a crypto officer and attained the rank of Captain. Loved my time in the service and learned a great deal about people, leadership, and service.

After my required service was completed, I spent a few months looking for employment in the computer field and eventually Evelyn and I wound up in Garland, Texas (current population about 300,000). I went to work for the City of Garland IT Department as a junior programmer and found that I enjoyed working for a service oriented organization. Long story short, I retired from the City in 2004 as the Assistant Director of IT. I worked with some great people and we implemented a lot of cutting edge technology over the years.

Along the way Evelyn and I had two wonderful boys, Scott and Kevin. They were/are the joy of my life. Both fine, grown men now, one married and one looking, they live close by and we see them often. We also have two of the most wonderful grandchildren in the world. Dani and Drew are a huge part of our lives right now and they make each day a little brighter.

Evelyn and I now live in Rowlett, TX close to Lake Ray Hubbard and enjoy travelling (especially cruising), playing with our grandchildren, gardening, good friends, and church and volunteer work. We have been happily married since 1969 and life is good. I feel so very fortunate to be here.

Over the years, I have been drawn more and more to seeking out my high school classmates and reconnecting with them. We have ALL had good times and bad times in our lives. I hope you will share your good times with us on this site.
