It’s hard to believe 50 years have gone by since we stumbled across the stage. Now we stumble (or slowly shuffle) wherever we go. After DJO I went to Va Tech. A lot of us went there or down the road at Radford so I was able to keep a lot of DJO friendships and make some new ones. After several years I received a degree in civil engineering and can honestly say I’ve never practiced it for a single day but the disciplined thought process has served me well. Spent a couple of years in New Orleans with an oil company then started with my current company. Through a series of mergers & acquisitions I’ve been with them for 43+ years and had the ‘opportunity’ to live in 12-13 cities & 5 countries and probably traveled to 50 more countries. Most have been fun; some have been scary; some were just boring. Obviously, I’ve enjoyed my career with them enough to stick around that long. This year I started to try to get my golf game in shape and we are looking forward to a 2014 retirement. We’re open to any good suggestions for a retirement location. Health-wise I’m doing well for an old guy thanks to an easy life and a good wife of 34 years who cheerfully (usually) follows me around to a lot of strange places to live.
We’ve been able to see some of you from time to time but not nearly many of you or as much as we would have liked. Will try to catch up on the last 50 years at the reunion and during the months & years to come.
Retirement finally came in October 2014 and we moved back to the house we left in Tulsa when we moved overseas in 1998. We were fortunate to have good renters while we were gone so Angie didn't have too much trouble to get it in shape when she moved back about 18 months before I retired. It's amazing how a lot of hard work and a check book can get things done.
We are blessed to have Angie's mom still living in Tulsa not far from us. We considered other locations but for now Tulsa is still home.

"Just discovered your product today while trying to locate classmates ahead of our 50th reunion in 2020. The fact that you did this in a noncommercial manner in a world where everything has a price tag deserves recognition and respect, in my view.
Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
