Vernon

Born Vernon L Landry on July 25th of 1947 to the proud parents of Walter and Vida Mae Landry. The third of seven siblings and the second son to boot. I was sort of shy at the beginning of Elementary school due to the fact I studdered a bit and had a complex about it. I focused on trying to master and control the way i spoke and eventually overcame it all. Graduated from Hebert High School (1965). Entered the Air Force in 1966 and spent my tour of duty in San Antonia at LackLand ,went to Wichita Falls for technical training on reciprocating engines such as the C124`s better known as old shakey because they were old and shaked like crazy….lol. Toured in Vietnam ,got out of there unschaved and went to Kelly Air Force Base in san Antonia inwhich was my first duty station after tech school. Discharged in Dec of 1969 and hired on at Mobile Oil Corp in Jan,13 of 1970. After 37 years of employment I am retired and finally enjoying th e fruits od my labor. Plenty more to tell but to much of anything can kill ya…lol Get back to the bio again some other time but I hope I was able to hold your attention for awhile…smile.
