Johnny Oliver

After graduation from high school, I enlisted in the US Army for three years. I served in
Germany my last year in service. After leaving the Army, I entered North Carolina State College. I married my wife Leslie Jane (of Emporia, VA) in 1964. She was an
elementary school teacher teaching school at Hampton, VA. I was working at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock (NNS&DD) Company in Newport News, VA as an electronics designer when I met Jane. In 1965, I returned back to North Carolina State College and graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering in 1966. I continued working for NNS&DD Company as an electronics designer for one year after graduation from college. We moved to Dallas, Texas where I worked for Ling Temco Vought (LTV) Aerospace for one year as an electronics designer. My wife taught school in Richardson, Texas. We lived in Garland, Texas for one year then we moved to Camarillo, California were I worked for the US Government at Port Hueneme with the Naval Ships Missile Systems Engineering Station. While living in Camarillo, our son David and our daughter Jennifer were born. Our son David only lived for 17 hours. Two years later we moved to San Diego, California where we lived for several years. Our youngest daughter was born in San Diego. While living in San Diego, I worked for the US Government at the Naval Sea Support Center as a supervisor supporting the Basic Point Defense Missile Systems and Gun Fire Control Systems installed on West Coast US Navy surface ships. In 1971, we were transferred to Portsmouth, VA. We lived in Chesapeake, VA. While in the Portsmouth/ Norfolk, VA area I continued working for the US Government as a supervisor in support of the Basic Point Defense Missile Systems and TARTAR Missile Systems installed in US Navy surface ships. While living in this area, my wife was a housewife and a substitute school teacher. Prior to retiring from my US Government job in 1991, I started an electronics sales/repair business in Chesapeake, VA. After I retired, we sold our home, closed the business and moved to Emporia, VA to live on a 85 acre farm that Jane's parents had left us after their deaths. We had a new home built on the farm and we lived there for 10 years prior to moving to our present home located in Suffolk, VA. Today, we are members of the Magnolia United Methodist Church and we serve on many different committees. I am also involved as a board member of the Olde Mill Creek Home Owners Association where we live. Our youngest daughter now lives in Chesapeake, VA. She has provided us with a handsome grandson and a beautiful granddaughter. Our oldest
daughter now lives in Stephen City, VA. She has provided us with two beautiful granddaughters.
