However, we also acquired land outside of Lawton near Chattanooga through the Homestead Act.

School Attended

I attended Washington Elementary, John Adams and then Tomlinson Jr. High School.

I then attended Lawton High School, was very active in ROTC, going to basic at age 17.

I then attended Cameron University where I got my degree in Bio-Chemistry.  I still go back and see some of my teachers.  You should visit the new Science building there.

Army Unit
I went into Active Duty Army right out of college.  I was a second Lt. and came in first in my OBC (Officer Basic Course).  I was in the Armor Branch.   2bdge 2AD 1btn 67 Armor at Ft. Hood, Texas.  Before that, during my reserve time while I was in high school and College, I was in 3btn 378th Reg. 95th Division in Lawton, Oklahoma.
When I went back into reserves I was in 245th Btn of 420 Bge. (Note:  Steve's wife typed this in and doesn't remember the abbreviations for the Brigade and Battalion!  Sorry guys).

Current Job
When I got out of the Army, I worked temporarily at Ciba Gigey and then taught school.  I now work and have for nearly 15 years, at ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge.

Activities
I enjoyed going on a Mission Trip to Del Rio, Texas where we ministered across the border into Mexico, this past summer.

I also enjoy leisure time on the computer and doing puzzles.

Church
I grew up Methodist and my wife Baptist, but we both ended up attending Assembly of God churches, in which we raised our children.

Interests
My interests include:  Science, science fiction, history.  I love watching TLC and Discovery (as does my entire family).  LASC (Louisiana Arts and Science Center), a good movie.  Quiet things.  Working out.
