After living in or near San Angelo for about 50 years, I moved to Irving in 2000. I make frequent trips back to Angelo, though, because most of my family still live there - Mom and Dad, my brother (Jim) and his family, and my Uncle Donald. Many of you remember Uncle D, I'm sure.

I've got two grown kiddos. My son, Chris, lives in Austin with his wife. My daughter, Carrie, lives in McKinney with her husband and my grandson (who turns 1 on August 25th).

I'm the grants department for Irving ISD now, although I spent a lot of years in an elementary classroom and then several years as a technologist for ESC Region XV.

Thanks to Kay, Beverly, Jane, Pam, Shirley, Marshall, Bill, & Bill and all you anonymous others who are working so hard on this event! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.
