About the author
73 yr old educator, retired twice, but back working at the Denton County Sheriff's Office as the Education Coordinator. I have three beautiful daughter's (Jennifer Leigh, Stacy Lynn, & Carrie Deon) by my first wife (Carolyn), who passed away at the age of 58 yrs old in 2008. Remarried to Rita Kathryn (Kate). I have 11 grandchildren, 2 great grandsons, and Kate has 5 grandchildren. I have a 95 yr old Father (George), who I see after and enjoy every minute of it. I grew up in Kemp Texas, and have been living in the North Texas area the past 30 years. Actually I live in a small community called Bolivar, where I own some acreage, that I have 8 head of cows on. I have one brother (Archie Perry), a sister (Georgia) deceased since 1998, and many niece's & nephew's. At our house there is: me, Kate, my Dad (George), our dog (Sky), 4 cats, and 8 cows I already mentioned. I am a Veteran and my Dad is a WWII Veteran. I have been in education for over 40 yrs., taught at Elementary, Junior High, High School, Military, Juvenile Prison, Adult Probation, Adult Jail Inmates, and at the University of North Texas. I really enjoying helping Inmates obtain a GED Diploma. They are in Jail, but I try to make their achievement as special as possible! While I was in public education, I served as a Teacher, Coach, Bus Driver, Principal, and a Superintendent (for 16 yrs.). I enjoyed Coaching the most, the interaction, the closeness, seeing the progress the Athlete's make in the maturing process is awesome.
