Home address: PARAGOULD, AR USA
email: dogtracker911@gmail.com
Spouse/Partner: Single and happy
Children/Grandchildren: My Kids. Cory, Brandi, Katie, Kelly, Paul III. or PJ, and Kristen

I have way to many grand More…kids to list or than I deserve. Most live close around me but my oldest two daughters live in California and we only get to visit when we all meet in Vegas. Not enough if you ask me. Usually it's me and one of my Arkansas kids take a short vacation and meet up with my older two.
Military Service: Air Force 5 years, Viet Nam  
Occupation/interests:

Retired from two different Hospitals. Worked as a Registared Nurse and a Paramedic....I also taught paramedics and ACLS for way to many years.
I have now gotten a new degree in computer engineering that I got for fun last year. I'm now done with school, for a while now. I get to go to school for free at my favorite school Arkansas State so who knows. I dropped out of high school after a second try but just couldn't do it. By then I was living in Homewood Manor with a pool and a club house and there wasn't enough time in the day for school. Later in life I came to the conclusion that it was more fun to go to school than work. Hence, many degrees came my way and in the end I had been in school longer than I had worked. Not good for my retirement but I sure can't complain. I live in Arkansas now. Raise horses, cattle, sheep and chickens. A small working farm and way more fulfilling
than I deserve.

Favorite memory from high school:

I left home when I was 16 years old and moved into an apartment in East Moline with Greg Willis. I thought it was real strange that all the other apartments were young females. I kind of liked it and they were all real friendly.
One late Friday night...Very late I was awoken buy a police officer pounding on my door saying this was a raid. Found out that night that I had been living in a whore house.
I guess everyone but Greg and I knew what was going on because years later my mom told me she knew all about it and just didn't want to believe that I was involved with it all.
Apparently my Parents thought I was the pimp...My dad was proud but my mom just thought I was a hell of a business man...I volunteered for Viet Nam on my 17 birthday

No one ever got in so much trouble as Greg and I when we hung out together. Mostly as a little kid but we got back together a few times thru our lives and nothing ever changed.  He just about lived at my house as a kid and me at his house.  We got put in Catholic School the same year and excaped the same year. The Nuns treated us like the town idiots. We were a couple years behind the Catholic kids and we got treated like we had mental problems. By the time we caught up we were taken out of that school and back to the normal kids but we were way ahead of them so we didn't fit in there.  It made it a hard childhood. 

If Greg and I had stayed together, we would both of spent years in prison.  I have told and taught my students about how this effected us and probable what pushed me into my two master degrees.

Loved Charlie,  Never seen him that he didn't make me laugh. The two of us could talk for hours and never get done.  He always treated me like a brother and me him.  I didn't know what happened to him.  I went to Nam, came back the QC for a while and then moved away. Mostly to college in Florida and Arkansas. I lost contact with just about everyone and have been to busy to catch up until I retired and started visiting back up North again.

I remember Steve from High School and all are great memories. I hadn't seen Steve in twenty or more years and then one day I ran into him at the brand new just opened Smorgasbord. I was on my lunch break and he was heading for work.  I sat there talking to him when I figured out what he was doing.  He was filling his pockets with Fried Chicken. The funniest thing I ever saw was watching him leave the resturant with fried chicken oil stains on all his pockets.  I have been laughing for the last twenty five years over that one.

My favorite memories of UTHS is Auto body shop and welding too. I dropped out of high school in the first month of my fifth year which actually worked good for me. I always felt bad about not graduating. Got my GED in VietNam. I went back to school 20 years later and got my ASN, then My BSN, and ended up teaching Nursing and running ER's all over the country. I never would of went to college if I hadn't of felt bad about dropping out of high school.
