May
11, 1975 - a rain-drenched morning on the campus of Texas
A & M University in College Station, Texas -- Mother's
day no less. And for Texas Aggies, the day after the Corps
of Cadet's seniors passed in their Final Review. In the early
afternoon, the clouds departed, the sun was bright, and the
most important event of my life took place in the All Faith's
Chapel. We are approaching 27 years since Kathy and I officially
became a team. Even before our marriage, we worked together
as students -- Kathy handled the graphic design and marketing
materials for bringing political speakers to campus. I handled
the operations. Today, it's still the same. We quit counting
when Kathy passed 6,000 images created for the Web. We have
now produced more than forty-five online educational courses
for corporate and non-profit clients, and even a few websites.
Kathy's goal has always been to WoW someone with what she
can do. Somehow, she found the extra time to build this website
and you are beginning to see the result of her efforts--and
the WoW factor is beginning to set in.
In
June, 1985 a third member joined our little clan. Clayton,
completing his high school sophomore year, has given up many
evenings and weekends with his father. We have found new topics
to discuss. We also learned a great deal more about our national
history. Most importantly, we grew to understand how difficult
it must have been for Lafayette McLaws to be separated from
his sons and daughter for years at a time. Clayton is looking
forward to a career in the military, so perhaps he has also
gained a small appreciation for the sacrifices our men and
women in uniform make.
