After retiring in '02 I worked with my wife and sold floor coverings for four years. Then we decided to take a vacation and hit the road in our Motor Coach for about two and a half years. We traveled from Central Mexico to Northern Alaska. We hire out part time as Wagon Masters for a RV Caravan company out of Texas and met a bunch of people and saw a good bit of country.
Then my Son in Law called and asked if I could come to work for him running one of his Towboats.I check and found I could get a license with some red tape and studying and finally got a 1600T unlimited Inland license and went to work about a year ago pushing petroleum products anywhere from the Miss to Corpus Christi.
We bought a new house in Houma and the first summer were hit by Gustav, Lost fence but house was fine.
Lived in Houma running Towboats for five years or so an d have now moved to the Piney Woods of Louisianna in Ruston La. Bought a nice house, large lot and peaceful setting.
