WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING SINCE HIGH SCHOOL
I was employed
at Heil-Quaker Corp. for several years. In 1973 we bought the Ostella Country
Store which we operated for 9 years. From 1981 until 1987 I operated a tree
surgery business. In 1987 I was diagnosed with parotid gland cancer and had
radical surgery and radiation. With God's help, I survived to the amazement of
my doctors. We started a restaurant after my recovery in 1989. In 1994 we bought
the Hi-way 50 Drive-in Theater. We had to close the restaurant in 2001 due to
June's health, but are still operating the drive-in each weekend.
Our oldest son, Ricky is married to Deanne Witner. They have
two children, Blake, 15 and Faith, 14. He lives in Ridgeland, MS and is Paint
Department Manager at the Nissan-Canton plant. Our oldest daughter, Donna is
married to Ricky Looney. They have four children; Amber,23; Andrew,21; and
twins; Matthew and Justin, 17. They have a farm near us. She is Credit Analyst
for ICP-Carrier in Lewisburg. Karen is married to James Walker. They have two
children, Kayden, 12 and Alex, 11. They have a farm near Cornersville. She just
began a restaurant in our building a few weeks ago. Wendy is married to Jamey
Ridley. They have restored an old home in Cornersville. She is seventh and eight
grade math teacher at Cornersville Middle School. Billy, our youngest, is
married to Meredith Gabard. They just built a home at Holt's Corner in northern
Marshall County. He is an area manager at Nissan-Smyrna. We are still hoping for
more grandchildren. The ones we have are our biggest joy. We also have a mini
daschund, Chloe who rules our house.
My hobbies are music, farming, and woodworking. We are also
very active in our church.
