A little about myself: I have been married to my wonderful wife for 39 years (a tribute to her patience and poor taste). We have three surviving children who have given us 4 beautiful grandsons (my wife keeps encouraging them for a granddaughter). I am a retired Air Force officer, with 26 years of military service. We moved from Arizona to East Texas in 1999 and love the people, the land, and our church.
