Quite a down sizing from the nice city bath we had, but Dad thought that was an improvement to get away from the city and have land for self sufficiency to rear his six children. 4261956 Drilled two wells and installed pump and running water in home 6251956 Dad Purchased a pair of Mules. I learned to plow with them. Helped break the new ground in the lower 10 acres with them 621958 Graduated from Hatton Elementary School 8171958 Began 7th grade at Colbert Co. Hi.

Talk about work! 221960 Shot a Vulture from the air. Shooew! Only wounded in the wing. Tied a rope to his foot and dragged him home. He hung out in the barn two weeks then finally left and flew away or foxes got him. 5121960 installed indoor plumbing & added an indoor bathroom to home 991960 Dad purchased the new 1960 Mercury Comet (Black) for the family car. Years later this would become my first car. 1291960 Took a course by mail. learned Taxidermy or to mount animals. Started with birds. Mounted a Red Wing Blackbird, A Screech Owl. Did great but finally lost interest. 1291960 During the night, I shot over their heads at some Negros stealing chickens from our operation. They escaped unharmed I suppose because I never heard anything about it. 141961 Shot at some Drunks parked in our long driveway late at night. They escaped with buckshot in rear of the car. Sheriff was at least 3 hours away for each time they were called if they came at all so we were on our own for safety and security and we weren't afraid to apply it. 7241962 Spent the summer with a University of Alabama archeology team researching prehistoric American Indians. Worked the Town Creek sites and a site around Nitrate City which was very old. 681962 Got our first Air Conditioning. Liked to have froze us to death when we discovered the difference in Cool and fan. 6241963 Spent the summer working as a surveyor with Uncle Jim & Aunt Lutie Jones in Sattler, Texas. What a fun summer. The Texas gals were bold & pretty, but nice, it was not like I could go out on a date. The fishing was great too. 5291964 Graduated from Colbert County High School, Leighton, AL 681964 Spent the summer clearing the land and helping build a new house on the ten acre tract dad had purchased in the Brick Church Community for the Paul Austin family. 911964 Began College at University of North Alabama then known as Florence State College 611966 Dropped out of College to pursue Work and save some money. 611966 Received draft notice into U. S. Army. Vietnam bound? Well no I applied for acceptance instead with the Alabama National Guard which would turn into six long years of service. Been easier to go to serve my two years in Vietnam. 7121966 Joined the Alabama National Guard, otherwise would have been Vietnam Bound and I really did not see anything worth fighting for in that steamy far away jungle though I would have gone there if not for the National Guard signup. There were several attempts to send bills thru to send us to Vietnam anyway but the Black Riots occurred in the south and they decided to use us to control that. 861966 Purchased my Gibson Falcon Amplifier for guitar music. Had become quite an accomplished Guitar player & musician. 881966 Purchased my Fender Coronada II Guitar one of the finest of its day. 8161966 Played with my band as lead guitar player in the first big job- a Saturday night street dance for the town of Tishomingo, Mississippi. Large crowd there. Drummer kept getting off beat so we just adjusted the tempo to the big dummy so no one noticed. 8231966 Shipped off on a bus to Fort Benning Ga for Army Basic training. Whew! That was an experience in feeling small. 104/1966 In Basic training, I stumbled and lost 12 second on the Run Dodge & Jump otherwise had perfect score on physical training test. Had the highest average score in the Company. Fewer than 1 in 50,000 soldiers score a perfect score.

Sent home to serve five more years with sheffield unit of the Alabama National Guard, Co B, Signal Battallion. Ugh!

Why rental, because I started a bit below my last job and I vowed to replace my original salary and then some even if it meant moving 10201985 Moved to another Cleveland TN rental home.

Two friends were killed. Car was traveling so fast it went airborne and landed in the forks of a large Oak tree (15 feet up). Stupid Kids, never learn.

The two boys in the front seat were ejected back to the ground and instantly killed. Avery was in the rear seat and survived with a broken ankle.

Lot of money in those days. 10101990 Sold home on Moss Ave in Muscle Shoals to Marvin Rickard. Took back a mortgage. He was always late on the payment so Linda reminded him of that a few times. Later he died. It is said he drank himself to death and was way late so I could have taken to the property back at a large profit. I let the heirs have it though to be fair. 311991 Resigned from Cub Cadet Lawn and Garden Tractors. All the good managers left, nothing but dreggs left there and I wanted better. 6101991 Started work with SCI, an electronic and computer manufacturer in Huntsville, AL as Cost Analyst. They moved me back to Huntsville in what would would be my last career move. 911991 Placed membership at Madison Church of Christ. 981991 Claud R & E. Lois Lanford Black celebrated golden anniversary (50th, Linda's parents) 9281991 Spent my temporary housing allowance and moved to Madison AL into the Flagstone APTS to give more time for finding a permanent home. 12281991 Claud R Black (father & father-in-law) passed away of a stroke at 1:18 in the morning. At that point it was the darkest moments of our lives and the first of many such more to come. 2241992 Linda accepted work as a Police Clerk for the City of Madison Alabama Police Department. 421992 Left SCI, Systems due to Reduction in force. What a depressing place to work with almost monthly reorganizations. Well, they moved me back close to our parents so all is well as jobs can be replaced these days. 441992 Charlie, our 1st pet Cockatiel died from a respiritory disease of birds. Got Charlie #2 purchased later. What a sweety- hand tamed. 1271992 Purchased and moved into the house on 104 Timberland Trace. Paid Cash for Gov't Foreclosure bid and went to work repairing the house to bring it up to our standards. Figured to be able to do a fixer upper while between jobs. 12141992 Accepted a positon with Superior Fireplace in Union City TN. What a long 200 mile drive Monday morning which started at 4 AM and I arrived at 8 at starting time. 311993 Went on my first trip to Corp Hdqtrs in Los Angelos (Fullerton CA) with Superior. Sure had a wonderful time seeing California and visiting my brother Ernie in San Franciso. Stayed three weeks or thru the audit. Of course those sinful folks wanted me to visit Las Vagas on weekends. Ha! not me. 691993 Mom & Dad (Paul & Ruby Austin) had an awful tragic auto accident in their 79th year of their lives. A Transfer Truck hit them from behind at 45 MPH as they waited at the 4 way stop for their turn to go. They were returning from visiting Aunt Lutie Jones in Troy Tennessee near where I was employed in Union City. I will always treasure that last visit the evening before the accident with Mom, Dad and Aunt Lutie. These people were such a precious part of my life and now they are gone as I write this. 7121993 Dad passed away from the head injuries of the auto accident. We'll get that truck driver. He had to be on drugs or something to make that big of mistake, but I believed at the tme the insurance of 0,000 or so would hardly cover the expenses they incurred. 311994 Went on another Audit trip to Corp Hdqtrs in Los Angelos (Fullerton CA) with Superior. Sure had a wonderful time seeing California again, this time with wife Linda. Stayed two weeks and hit the beaches and mountains on weekends and audited books during the work week. Ernie Austin and his wife flew down from San Francisco and while I was working they visited San Clemente and other places around Los Angelos. On one weekend the wife and I visited Pismo Beach and stayed on the beach- sleeping with the windows open to catch the fresh breeze. 3311994 Purchased the other 1988 gray Chevrolet Celebrity from Ma Ma Black for ,000. She bought her a new car. 4171995 Finally I get to come back home as I accepted a position with Martin Industries. Glad to be out of the commuting & temporary living business but will miss my Aunt Lutie Jones who lived in nearby Troy TN. 651995 Celebrated 25th wedding anniversary with Linda. 7111995 Aunt Lutie passed away from cancer, was buried beside her husband in the West Hill Cemetery, near Troy. Boy, I'll miss her. Had another of those family reunions funerals, but this time she was the subject. Aunt Lutie would have been proud because she was always the leader in such events since we mostly lost family in old age we could celebrate their long lives with long family chats. 7221996 Hit the big 50 today. Rather uneventful, except got some black baloons & ribbing. Guess life goes on. 913/1996 Left Martin. What a bunch of bad managers. They ran the place into the ground. Accounting career getting tougher for me to be secure at this time. Finally get a chance to be secure and I am asked to lie about inventory levels to keep my job. Well it did not happen and I ailenated my superiors. So be it! My philosophy was always - lets find out where we are and identify or strengths and weaknesses and then shoot for the moon. Well I was right because they did not last long before bankrupting and disolving the business. What a shame. In fact they bulldozed the Corp office as a part of that effort. It sits as bare ground even today 6/182013 021797 Went to work for Maxxim Medical, Decatur Plant as a Plant Accountant. Boy are they losing money in Decatur. Well, we'll see if we can fix that? 12151998 Maxxim Medical sold out to Care-Line Industries. We did fix their money problems at the Decatur Plant, but, they were so busy wheeling and dealing for a sale they did not notice. There goes another job, but I did stay on until the Milk Products position came along. 5121999 Stephen rented himself an apartment and moved out. He was delivering steaks for his upkeep at "Steak Out". 12151999 Had surgery on my voice to remove Polyp that inhibited speech. 1152000 Left Care-Line Industries. Market for Accounting is good so a position will turn up qickly probably with multiple offers. 3312000 Received the usual two offers and accepted the local one sacrifacing money and position to stay put. Best offer was that I would have been the only Cost Accountant for the State of Tennessee with good retirement and the works, but did not want to shortchange Linda's pension with Alabama. 452000 Started to work for Milk Products of Alabama as a Plant Accountant for Vince Williams. Will handle the financial reporting for this million + Ice Cream Producer and supplier to the Fast Food Industry. 4172000 Stephen started to work for the City of Madison Police Department as an Animal Control Officer. A job his Mom had recommended him for. 4292000 Kristi Left home to get married to Billy Davis who was a Bob Jones High School chum. What a bunch of immature kids. 782000 Mom (Ruby Lee Barlar Austin) passed away from the 87 years and effects of the accident she sustained seven years ago. She was at that point completely bedfast. 8162000 Had surgery second time on my voice to remove Polyp that inhibited speech.Dr. Teachy was surgeon again. He was a rascal. 916/2000 Stephen purchased a Black Ford Ranger PU Truck and surplused the Gray 1988 Celebrity and finally sold it to a person he work with for about 0. We will miss those old cars. They were the best cars we ever had for reliability and handling had nearly 200,000 miles on them. 1121/2000 Purchased the White Masda B3000 1994 PU Truck for about ,000. Had about 27,000 Miles. Gave the Oldsmobile Ceirra to Kristi and traded the Brown Chevrolet Celebrity. Was traded in for 0 Allowance even with teh new ,000 engine. 2232001 Moms estate was settled and distributed. Balance of the proceeds (5,000) from the funds for her care went to her six siblings. My part was about ,000. It was obvious no amount of money would have relieved the suffering my Mom underwent that last seven years since the accident of 9 Jun 1993 4292001 Kristi informed us she is annuling the marriage to Billy Davis. Neither of these children were mature enough for marriage. Kristi will continue to live away from home at her choosing, but I did not agree as she needed more schooling to be independent. 6122001 Had surgery third time on my voice to remove Polyp that inhibited speech. Dr. Morgan from the Kirklin Clinic in Birmingham was the surgeon. This time we will be successful longer term. 7142001 Purchased the Green 2000 Buick Lasabre for about ,000. Had about 28,000 Miles. Traded in the 1995 Buick Celebrity for ,700. 7262001 My childhood best friend Roy Dale Medley died of cancer of the throat, he was VP of Operations for a construction Co. in Memphis, TN. I was Pallbearer & he was buried in Shady Grove Cemetery, Manchester TN. His family had a tremendous influence on my life. I joined the Church of Christ and met my wife thru their influence and also adopted my children thru the Church sponsored adoption agency known as AGAPE. 9112001 One of the worst events of our countries history occurred today with the bombing of the twin towers of the World Trade Cenetery but Arab radicals. I watched the horrific events unfold on national television in the break room of Milk Products of Alabama. 3,700 people lost their lives when those towers caved in. It pummeled several other building around the towers too. 7172002 All of my siblings organized a trip and went to New York City with Linda and my siblings, Joyce, Ernie, Mary & Amaree. Met Ernies son Travis Austin and his new wife Christina there who knew the streets because of being in dental school there. Had a great three day tour of Manhatton including the bombing site where the World Trade Centers stood until the bombing of 9-11-2001. Turns out about 7 buildings were destroyed, which was more damage than a small atomic bomb could deliver. 11162002 Our son Stephen married a wonderful young lady Lori Miller, who finished school at Alabama and got a job in the Defense Contract Industry. They went to Cancun on their honey moon. They left in a stretch Limo provided by yours truly. We don't normally do things in a big way but felt the necessity here. 7162003 Parmalat the parent company that I worked for pulled some of the accounting from Decatur and installed it in New Jersey to improve their cash flow. Boo. Hiss ours went down hill. Well we just established a sytem on Excel and kept on clucking for now. Still in control of the accounting at Decatur but not handling cash except to deposit it. 12212003 Parmalat the Itialian parent company that I worked for whose 51% owner filed for bankruptcy, He then goes to jail for hiding about 18 billion in debt. He evidently had visions he could own the worlds food supply by his (crooked pile up more debt) scheme. Won't the Americans ever learn about those crooked Italians. Our North American division will stand without anyone's help. In total we are profitable but we will probably be sold to another company who may not have an interest in the preservation our business in Decatur Alabama. If they see they can produce somewhere else and better line their pockets they will do it. 071005 Purchased the new white 2005 Ford Van, Freestar from a dealer in Decatur. ,000 van we got for about ,000 1142006 Steve & Lori have a baby - Alexander Riley Austin 8152007 I am informed by corporate accounting that I must transfer to Dallas to be a location accountant or face layoff. 11272007 I accept the severance bonus and unused vacation which will be abot 6 months pay or enough to last me to the Social Security age of 62. I check around and the market is dry for old accountants so I retired. 5122007 Steve seperates from Lori because of her reliance on prescription drugs. Steve & Alex moved into our home for the time being. They put their home up for sale. 8142010 Lori Miller Austin succumbs to drug use and is buried in north Madison County in a little church yard cemetery (Bevill). 432010 Wrecked the 2000 Green Buick Lasabre on trip back from Surveying the Old Brick Cemetery.
