Today's Featured Biography

 

Ronald Griffith

We graduated on June 7th 1954 and eloped to get married to Lois on June 17th. We had to slip down around Herrin to get the blood test. Then we got the license at Mt. Vernon and went to a JP's house and he did the deed with his wife as witness. He held the records from the newspaper for a couple days, not sure why. It helped with our secret since Lois's mom was very suspicious. I left with my family to Ft. Worth, Tx. and then in July we told our parents and Lois moved to Ft. Worth, finally!
We stayed in that area for 6 years, I tried to enlist in AF but they didn't take folks with dependents at the time so I went into the reserves for 8 years. We moved to Mt. Carmel Il in 1960 and I worked in Purchasing for Pacific Press and Shear until 1969. We moved to Waxahachie Tx when I was hired by Ling Temco Vought, Vought Aircraft Div. There I worked through to Manager of Procurement. I retired in 1996 and not a day too soon. Lois learned Bridge in Mt. C and has been an avid player ever since. She became an instructor and director in the early 70's and made life master in the 80's. She now directs a game every monday night for the Sunday School Class and plays in a small town east of ours on Wednesdays and some Fridays. She will talk your arm off about bridge and is always looking for a game. All but one of our kids live in Waxahachie and all but one grandkid lives here too. So I call it a mixed blessing but Lois loves every minute with them. She also taught swimming and managed the local pool for 15 years. So naturally we had to have a pool and it helps her with Mr. Arthur... and of course the kids come and swim with her. The Pool is enclosed and heated so we swim year round. We love to travel in Texas and the US of A by RV and have had some great trips.
Looking forward to the reunion again this year and appreciate all the hard work folks are doing to put it together for us. See you then.
