Mark, Dora, and Ruth in Illinois, 1993	1993 - From 1991 to 1994, I worked in the Satellite Personnel Office at Lackland Air Force Base, servicing the personnel needs of 2,000 Wilford Hall hospital folks. This was a fun job, mainly because of a really nice Senior Master Sargeant (our boss), Roy Gooden. I hope to see him again someday.	1993 - my running buddy, Doug Cobb. We had just run the "Capital Mile" in Austin	Mom and Dad's new home on Richmond Rd in Macomb, IL
