Married, Single, Married, (two boys), Single, Married, (one more boy), Single, Married, Single. Got a dog. Been busy. WCJC, Coast Guard, Texas State Technical Institue (now College) Road construction, Clothing store owner, Boat Captain (Coast Guard 100 ton License) working offshore, Car salesman, Marine store sales, Charter boat, Tug boat captain for bridge building company, US Corp of Engineers - Lock Operator. Lived on a boat 14 years. February 2011 built a house moved off of the boat (swallowed the anchor)

Lots of wildlife hang around the locks. I see lots of deer, some nice bucks, lots of hogs, lots of buzzards, a fox, mexican eagles, rabbits, alligators, you never see them but you sure hear packs of cyotes, nice schools of red fish, dolphin, all kinds of water birds, and of course there are lots of those idiot homosapiens running around in little fishing boats that don't have enough since to be operating one. They are always challenging tow boats pushing one or two barges with as much as 3500 tons each barge of some chemical or petroleum and think the tow can stop or turn on a dime. Idiots!!!!

Probably the most important aspect of my life is that I am very close to my family: My older sister Susan and husband Wayne Waters and their children Dr. Wendy (Poot Toot), Carolyn & Robin and their spouses. My younger brother Chris and his wife Mary Jane (PooDoo) and their children Tracy, Christy & Dr. Sarah.

Most importantly is my relationship with Christ my Lord and Savior.
