Phi Delta Theta FraternityWhat’s been happening: Since 1997 I have been retired from getting paid. When I graduated from the U of Ark in 1955 I received a law degree plus an Air Force ROTC Commission. Spent 28 years as an active duty Air Force Lawyer. Overseas assignments were one in Turkey and two in Japan. Retired to come home to Arkansas to be Executive Director of the Arkansas Bar Association, retiring after 13 years when I reached age 65. Continued as an active volunteer in several bar associations (Secretary--Treasurer of the Arkansas Bar for 13 years) and the University of Arkansas Alumni Association (year as president of the Capital Chapter) and our church. Military and Bar Association activities took me all over the United States. In both my careers and in our travels I met many Phis in important jobs. For our fiftieth anniversary we took a driving trip to the three states Mary Lou had not been to and the one I had not been to, ending at Fargo, North Dakota, where the people at the welcome center gave us a certificate and put our picture on their web page. Our children live in Garland, Texas; North Little Rock; and Bend, Oregon. We have four grand daughters and a grandson. Have season tickets for Razorback football games and make frequent trips to Fayetteville. Still take lots of photographs and give picture disks to organizations such as Arkansas and Pulaski County Bar Associations, Razorback Band, Arkansas Alumni Association, Air Force Retired Judge Advocates Association, and individuals. Like many our age, we take lots of medicines, which contributes to our being blessed with excellent health. |
