Biography:

After graduating from EHS:

Attended Centenary  College for 2 years on a music scholarship to sing with the choir; Met my future wife, Cynthia Bailey, who also sang in the choir; Moved to the Dallas area in ’64, went to work as an accounting clerk for a gas company, and also married Cindy that same year.
Cindy completed her degree at North Texas State and began her teaching career as an elementary music teacher in ’66.  I finished my undergraduate studies at North Texas State in ’68;

In the fall of ’68, we became home missionaries for 2 years and were sent to a small community (Dungannon), located in the mountains of southwest Virginia, under the auspices of the Southern Baptist Convention.  While there, our 1st son (Tim) was born in ’69; After leaving the program I got a job teaching in the county system for 3 years.  We moved to a neighboring community (Nickelsville) within the same county, and we remain here to this day.  Our 2nd son (Jon) was born in ’74.
 
Upon completion of 3 years of teaching, I moved into an administration position for a federal program which lasted 10 years.  During the early years at this position, I completed a master’s degree from Virginia Tech.  I then became a principal at the elementary level which lasted 17 years, and retired after 30 years of service in 2000.  Cindy stayed at home raising our 2 boys until the youngest began 8th grade.  She then taught music in the county for 13 years before retiring in 2000.

Since our retirement:

I have driven an activities bus (field trips and sports related trips), and Cindy has taught private piano lessons.  We have been involved in our local community as members of a senior citizens group, and as a member of the Town Council.  I took up the game of golf in 2008 and play with Tim and Jon whenever possible and with a group of guys from our church.  We attend a non-denominational church which blesses us, and, hopefully we are a blessing to the folks that we come in contact with.

Our children:

Tim and Kaye’s family live in Smithfield, VA. and Tim works as a control room supervisor at a nuclear power plant in Surry, VA.  Kaye manages the accounting records for a real estate company.  Ethan is in the 4th grade and Emily is in the 1st grade; Jon and Donna’s family live in Franklin, TN. and Jon works at the Nissan headquarters.  Donna is able to work at home as a vendor for a company located in N.J., and she travels quite a bit buying goods to be sold to retail stores.  Abby is in the 2nd grade, Kate is in pre-k, and Sarah is almost 2.

We have been blessed by the Lord with wonderful children and grandchildren.  Cindy and I have been married 47 years, and it only gets better!  We plan to grow older together!
