Today's Featured Biography
Lester Huckaby
At the end of our Jr. year (1958) my dad took a job in another city so I had to transfer to that school for my Sr year. I still think of myself as a Rebel. After high school I worked 2 or 3 different jobs in Austin then in January of 1961 I volunteered for the draft, being 19 and classified as 1A no one would hire me for a decent job. I was discharged from the Army in January 1963. I then moved to Arlington, Tx. to work with a friend. There, 2 important events in my life occurred: first I met Linda who I married in Sept of 63, second I met a DPD officer who suggested that I apply for a job with the Dallas Police Department.. I was hired on July 11,1963. I retired Dec. 5 1996 and Linda and I bought some land southwest of Granbury and built a home. At this time we have 11 grandchildren ranging in ages 4 months to 15 years. I did survey a few weeks ago and it asked how I rated my health. Well I didn't knw how to answer that. After thinking about it for a while I knew the answer--- Great, I'm on this side of the grass. I like to hear from any of you that might remember me, Call or email.
