| In 1962 in September I parted ways witrh the navy seeing no future there. I had met someone on one of my shore leaves and I went there. I never really returned home. I did not feel wanted there anyway. I moved instead to Connecticut. One thing led to another and it was not long before we were married. I worked very hard during those times trying to get ahead. As with the rest of my plans, things started to go horribly wrong. We ended up in divorce court. Reflecting back it was just as much my fault. We had 5 children Wayne Lorainne Danny Tammy and Christopher. |
| I married again in 1974. We did okey we had the same interests. Even though there were a few problems we had to over come. I learned some sign language and how to not turn my head away when speaking. It's very hard I understand to read lips when your head it turned away. We were blessed with two children, Cherice and Kimberly. In 1977 an accident ended that marriage. It was a horrible shock. It's something you carry with you for a long time. In all though I would say it was a good relationship. I carry very fond memories of that time in my life. We remained in Conneticut. |
| It did not take long before I became married again. We had no children but one came in the deal. Hey a step son is the same as a real one that you bear. You love them just the same. There were many fights over yours and mine type things. I was married this time for twenty five years. We Moved to Texas in 1978. All the children grew up and moved on to begin their own lives. It was a care taker type relationship that we had. I being the caretaker and worker. If it were not for social security disability we could not have given the kids such a good quality of life. Things were getting very expensive in Texas so we sold the house and bought one in South Carolina with cash money from the sale of the Texas house. Things went well but the mental illness my spouse suffered from became unbearable. Abuse became worse and I simply could not take it any more. On September 9th 2001 I packed it in carrying with me all I could pack in my car. I went to Carsom City, Nevada to get a divorce. In 2002 it was made final. |
| Your right I could not stand being alone. I married once more. This time it will be for keeps or until death do us part. If death don't claim me first, I shall never marry again. I am way to old to think of such things. I live in Oklahoma on a small ranch. We raise beef and sheep. it's like being back where I began in 1941. On a Farm, making things grow. Making things grow is very rewarding. it's not like working at another job, You more or less make your own hours. The rewards are visible and you see them grow. I also have gotten into a relationship with my maker. I am ordained as a minister and I am active in the church. I teach a bible study class every Sunday and not many things stop me from getting there. Six inches of snow however will do it. Every thing from here is down hill, making the return home all up hill. I have great friends, a lovely grand-daugher (even if she is full of the dickins) I love her. She is a step grand-daughter but one I see all the time. I have 27 grand kids of my own. 13 step grand kids and 3 step great-grand kids. |
