Entered SLI in 1943 and played football in 1944. Played quarterback on offense and line backer on defense. That team won the LIC championship.
I enlisted in the Army Air Corp in January 1945. I was married in July 1945 and discharged from Air Corp in November 1945 when I returned to SLI to continue my studies in Mechanical Engineering. Since I was married my football playing was over as part time work with Hughes Tool Co. and Halliburton was essential
I graduated in June of 1948 and accepted an Engineering assignment with a Pipe Line Co. in Midland, Texas which was a affilate of Texaco,Inc.
After 13 years and 7 moves through the pipe line system, I was Transfered to Lafayette as Assistant Division Manager of The Texas Pipr Line Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Texaco Inc.
In 1967 I was named Division Manager of the Houston Division and relocated to Houston,Texas.
In November of that same year I was transfered to New York and appointed World Wide Pipe Line Corrdinator at Texaco Headquateres. I remained in this position until 1972.

In 1972 I was named Assistant General Manager of the Supply and Distribution Dept.in Houston,Tx.
In 1975 I remarried Juanita Hatcher, a CPA, graduate of The University of Missouri.
In 1980 I was elected President and CEO of The Texas Pipe Line Co and also three other companies which we operated. In 1985 I retired from this compay and enjoyed retirement in Houston playing golf,woodworking,repairing and restoring golf clubs and traveling with my wife.
In 1992 we discovered a wonderful Golf and Residential community called The Dominion in San Antoio,Tx.
