Re: WPHS Alums - Then and Now - Class of 1961
Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2001 13:18:08 -0400
From: "Terry & Margie Gartside"
I've been living most of my life here
in Orlando, except for about 9 years in Atlanta during
the decade of the 70's. Big "A" town was pretty
nice back in the 70's. My dad died in 1980. My wife and
I moved back here to Orlando at that time to help take
care of my mother. She is now in assisted living, but
has been going back and forth a few times between the
nursing home and assisted living.
My wife and I are still full time workers.
No children . We got married in 1975. I was 32 at the
time. She has been my one and only. We're still going
strong trying to stay ahead and keep up with the changing
times in this world. Some day, which won't be too long
down the road, say about 3 to 5 years, I'm gone to hang
it up and start enjoying life (retirement, per se). At
that time, I'm going to let someone else do all the hard
work!

| Bio:
I attended Orlando Junior College in 1961-1962. I
joined the Orlando Fire Department in July, 1962 and stayed
until January, 1989 when I retired. While there, I began
teaching in 1979 at the Fire Academy as a part-time job;
teaching both recruits and in-service classed. After retirement
I went to work for Orange County Schools at Mid-Florida
Tech as a full-time instructor/coordinator at the Fire
Academy. In 1993, I left to go into business with a couple
of friends. In December, 2000 I decided that it was time
to get back into the fire service and accepted employment
with Osceola County as a Fire Inspector where I am today.
I have two adult children from my first marriage. They
both graduated from Florida State University. My daughter,
Tracy, graduated in 1989 and is now the Marketing Director
for CNL. My son, Patrick, graduated in 1992 and is in
route sales for City Beverage. I married again in 1986
to Debbie who is a wonderful wife and homemaker. |
