I'm a member of the Chaplin family of south-central Illinois and the
Parker family of southwest Oklahoma & north-central Texas. I've put most of the Parker-family information I acquired a few years
ago into the Win95 application Family Tree Maker version 3.4.
A Zipped version of the Parker.FTW file can be found here.
Graduated from Brookhaven High School (Brookhaven, Mississippi) in 1972.
Graduated from DeVry Institute of Technology (Dallas, TX) in 1977 with a
BSEET.
I met my (then future) wife during the summer between my junior &
senior years in high school. I proceeded to fall madly in lust
with her. She lived over 700 miles away though, so we wrote occasionally. :-( We stumbled
across each other again 5 years later. Actually, I kidnapped her from the Univ. of
Illinois and held her captive in Texas til she agreed to move to California. She doesn't share my
enthusiasm for the more exciting things in life, well ... except one maybe ;-). Between
motion sickness, helmet hair, a sore butt, and whining "I'm cold!"; you'd think
she enjoyed motorcycles as much as me. Hmmm, go figure ...
And speaking of camping . . . her idea of roughing it in the wilderness
would be a 36 ft. motorhome! Well, I guess I should give her credit for the one
camping trip she did with me; her only 2 nights in a tent in her entire life. Didn't care
much for the "get nekid in the creek for a bath" idea neither. First bath I ever
saw her turn down.
Yeah, I give her a hard time about us being such "opposites";
but I have two great, insatiable passions in my life, and she is number one.
Our son Chris was born in 1986. He graduates from UC-Berkeley with
a BS in Mech. Engr. in the spring 2009.

I'm a Deadhead
. . . a Foghead . . . a Parrothead . . . Actually I like most varieties of
music, except the old nasal-twanging country & the modern rap crap.
Our dogs are here.
Catfish is a nickname I have acquired from
the S.F. Northstars because of my fondness of eating it at
dinner every chance I get. Sure they're bottom feeders, just like those other nasty
scum-suckers; lobsters & abalone. Besides, some bottoms are nice to feed on
... ;-)
When all else fails, try the plan. |
