I have a BA in sociology from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, an Elementary Teaching Credential from San Jose State College (now San Jose State University) and my MA from Pepperdine University in Education. I retired the first of this month after 38 years in education, mostly as an Administrator.

Welcome fellow Texan. jlottmc (my husband who is also on here), is a fellow Texan and born and bred here. I'm a transplant from NC.

Is Texas A&I now known as Texas A&M Kingsville?

Sadly, yes. The A&M bunch imposed their name on my alma mater after it was assimilated (Resistance is futile!!). Most of the alums are upset by this, but what are ya gonna do?

Mechanical Engineering, Oklahoma State University.

It has served me very well.

In 1996 they shut down the local office of the company my wife and I worked for, and wanted me to go to Atlanta (HELL NO)



And just what's wrong with Atlanta

I lived in Atlanta for 3 years. OK if you like a large city. Then spent time overseas in a city of 12 million. After that I had enough. Now I live in a small town, drive to a small city to work. and I still want to be deeper in the woods. That's just me though. the wife doesn't always agree with me though. But last visit to her sister in a city of 4 million she decided she didn't like it either. Maybe I'm winning her over.

I guess I'm just the opposite. I go into withdrawal if removed from neon and concrete for any period of time. Plus, I would be very unhappy if I couldn't go to the Atlanta symphony [one of the best in the world], the concerts, and the theater that's available here.

Too noisy for me . . . yeah, I like motorcycles, but there is a limit!

I'll drive over for the Atlanta symphony. That's alright there. Then I'll go back to the woods.

I like going to the Fox theater, but I wouldn't want to live or work in Atlanta. Too much traffic and crime.

If bad decisions were a part of my resume, I'd have my Doctorate in Stupid.

Did not go to college after High School instead straight to Basic training in Uncle Sam's Tennessee Army National Guard. After basic training and machine shop training there my MOS was 44E20 I was accepted into a pilot program for a special 6 year Tool and Die Apprenticeship for Tool and Mold Design and construction with emphasis on training future technical managers in this field . So worked full time as well as took engineering, design and business management classes to completed the program with a Journeyman card and a certificate but no college diploma. No regrets as in my career I have done every job in this field from sweeping the floor, to toolmaker, then Master Toolmaker, shop supervisor , shop superintendent, General Manager and VP even President and owner of my own Tool design company. I have never been unemployed unless you count the time I was working for myself. I am Currently Tool Development Manager at Corporate level for a large OEM supplier to all the major automotive companies.

I went to The Ohio State University and Ohio University, to learn how to drink and hang around with loose women.

Then I went to Devry to get a BS in CIS. But I probably learned more after school getting my CISSP, then CISA, then CRISC.

Fabulous photos. I'm curious why you do not identify the location of these shots. Curious if this is all digital work and what's being used. We're nearly neighbors.
