I have been married for 37 years. I married in 1979.
I have three children – two daughters and one son.
We moved to Cape Girardeau, MO in the summer of 1998 and I was offered a teaching/coaching position at the Sikeston Junior High School. My children attended Sikeston schools and graduated from Sikeston High School. They went on to get degrees from colleges in Missouri and are successful in their chosen careers.
