Alumni Log Comments from the Class of 1968
Hi Guys! After migraines forced me to stop work the second time I moved to the Miss. Gulf Coast to live close to my son, whom I had lovingly sent down to live under the threat of his father's loud bass voice the year before. After 3 years Jake convinced me he was an adult; I said, "Fine, so am I. I'm off to Colorado, the land that I love." That was in 2004. I'm happy as a clam (as it were) in Denver, we got Jake safely out of Biloxi during Katrina, and all is well. Everybody, please write! I have been married to my wife Jan (from Midland) since 1972. We have two adopted children, Mark and Miles, ages 14 and 16. I have been married for 32 years, to my dear wife Sharon Graham Bramblett. We have two children Darrin(24) and Staci(18)a pre-med student. Darrin is in the retail pharmacy business.

My wife Glenda has gone back to school to get her masters while working as an administrative Secretary to the Dean. I graduated from North Texas State University in 1972 then spent the next 17 years building an insurance agency. I sold it in 1989 and started OKC BACKUP, now a large Concert Production Company home based in Oklahoma City, OK. My web site is www.okcbackup.com. I can't believe what a happy life I have. In the last 90 days I've worked with John Mellecamp, Tracey Lawerence, Terry Clark, Ricky Van Shelton, Micky Rooney, and a slew of others. What a great life to actually make a living doing what you love. I hope to hear from some of my old HS friends. I am married to a classmate, Fran Ritchie.
