Occupation:Sales Consultant Marital Status:Divorced No. of Children:2

From Bill:I have been living in the Dallas area since 1978. Married and divorced twice. I spent 17 years in the electrical wholesale business and 20 years in the car business. I am now the commercial sales manager for CarToys in Frisco, Texas.

I have been raising my kids on my own for the last 6 years. My oldest is a Lance Corporal in the Marines stationed at Camp Lejeune and is currently going through desert training in preparation for deployment to Afhganistan in October. My youngest is in the eighth grade and way smarter than old dad. If you don't believe it, ask him. Other than that, life has been pretty ho-hum. I hope to be able to attend the reunion next year since I missed the last one. I hope to hear from you guys!
