| Work you have done: I really enjoyed my career in petroleum trading and marketing and retired from Valero Refining and Marketing as Vice President of Marketing. Since retiring, I have been working as a marshal at a local golf course in exchange for playing time-a great deal for a retiree ! |
| Hobbies: Living in a location where one can play golf 360 days a year, golf would be #1. I also enjoy working in my vegetable garden which includes veggies and fruits from tomatoes to squash, asparagus, cukes, potatoes, blackberries and peaches. Fly fishing is also a passion especially in New Mexico and Colorado |
| How you spend your retirement time: In addition to hobbies, I am an avid reader. The first thing Ginny and I did when we arrived in Austin was to get a library card. |
| How have you changed or not since you graduated in 1961: I have modified my view of this country and the world. Where in 1961, I would have classified myself as a Rockefeller Republican, now I am much more progressive leaning strongly toward the Democratic viewpoint. Living in a state with Rick Perry as Governor, that is easy to do. |
