Career Interests:  I worked with Procter & Gamble for seven years, after which I started AAA Pest Control in 1967.   I retired in 1984 after a successful career in business.  I joined and later became president of WB CCI (Airstream Travel Club) and spent a lot of time traveling.  When not enjoying the outdoors at home, or on the lake, I spend a lot of time with my children and grandchildren.

Career Interest:  I started AAA Pest Control.

We have three children and three grandchildren.  Truly we think they're the greatest kids and grandkids.

Personal Interests: travel - hunting -- fishing

Leisure activities: these tend to be the same as our personal interests, especially our interest in travel. 

I am retired as of 1984.   Major events since Bunkie High School:  Completing college, developing a successful business, retiring, and being fortunate to do the traveling we have experienced. 

I finished college in 1958 and started AAA Pest-Control in 1967 and retired in 1984, and  we have traveled extensively through the US Canada and Mexico.

A major accomplishment has been the ability to start, manage, and sell a profitable business.

Bunkie High School in the fifties: I recall this being a great place to live and a great place to go to school.

We have no plans that will dramatically change our lives.  We hope to continue pursuit of our interests, and we hope everything will continue, especially our good health.
