| After graduation I went to work for Dr. R. O.
Waddle. J. W. and I were married in August of 1950.
We moved to Louisianna until he was sent to Korea with the 45th Division.
I moved back to Eufaula and went to work for Dr. W. E. Wendell and worked
for him until we moved to Tahlequah for J. W. To attend college along with
Joe Mac, Leroy and Marshall Warren.
Our daughter was born there in 1954. Her name is Deborah Louise McNatt
and I have two beautiful granddaughters, Kristian Blair Stiles, age 23
and Ashlye Nanette Galvan age 20. Ashlye has a 19 month old boy named Taylor
Matoy Galvan. She lives in Dickenson, TX, works, goes to college and is
a full time wife and Mother. (what a load) Kristie just graduated from
SMU and is pursring her career in politics working for Al Gore in New Hampshire.
(I refused to let he rwork for Clinton)
We moved to Dallas in 1958 and J. W. and I divorced in 1981.
When we moved to Dallas I went to work for Braniff Airlines and was
there for 18 years - until the time they closed the doors in 1982.
Through my brother-in-law I met a man by the name of Gerald Pointer.
Gerald gave me a job (when Braniff went under) as an Assistant Manager
at an apartment complex he owned. Well one thing lead to another and so
in1988 we were married.
There have been some happy days in my life because he taught me a new
way of life. Shooting a shot gun. We have traveled all over the world hunting
and shooting competitive shoots. I'll brag a bit, but I have many trophies
I have won. We shot the British Grand Prix in 22 Birds and I went into
the last four targets with the gold in my hand - unfortunately - I missed
three out fo the last four and fell to the bronze. Gerald won the gold
at the shoot. We have a travel trailer and take extended trips (as far
as Nova Scotia) Love traveling and shooting. Gerald still owns two apartment
complexes so we have to come home sometime. Maybe he will fully retire
in a few years and we can spend more time traveling.
I have enjoyed hearing from everyone - just wish more of our class had
responded.
P.S. Ruth Marie does not have the prettiest and smartest grandchildre.
I DO. HA.
