We are all native Texans and proud of it Mary was born in Corpus Christi. James and Leonard were born in Houston and I was born in Amherst. We got married on August 11 1984 in Arlington Texas. I have worked in the oilfields since 1977 which has caused us to relocate several times. We have Lived in Houston Texas , Arlington Texas , Hobbs New Mexico , Parkersburg West Virginia, Pampa Texas and Now we live at Lake O' The Pines Near Jefferson Texas.

James graduated from Pampa High School  in 1992 He served in the Navy for 9 years and is now Living in Denver Colarado. James married Jennifer in 1997.They have a Daughter Allison who is now 8 and what a Sweetheart she is. There is more information on James below and also check out his Web site. 

Leonard graduated from Avinger High School in 1994. He lived in a group home for 2 years in Dallas and decided that Dallas wasn't what he thought it would be. He is now living with us at Lake O' The Pines. He is now in job training with G.E.M.S for the Sabine Valley Group. In the mean time he does odd jobs around the lake for anyone that will hire him.

Mary  started a Lawn Mowing business that keeps her busy.  And is still in growing  stage. Last summer it was hard for her to keep up with the work load. But then there is always winter where Business dies off somewhat.

I spent  7.5 years working in Algeria on a 4 and 4 commuter schedule. Before that I worked in Kuwait for a year. I have seen a lot of places mostly the desert areas of the world. After a while you can see some of the beauty of the Sahara. Some times it is so quite and peaceful and there is always that vast amount emptiness. 

There is more information on us below along with other stuff we find interesting.
