My interests are as follows:
Photography.... now that I have a digital camera..that's why I am trying to share as many pics from my transporting work and travels
Creativeness...That is one sign of my birth sign...enjoying creativeness..I like doing things on the computer..No doubt..putting together Myspace pages for family and friends..even dabbling with a little HTML coding...and Musically...I am kinda a former musician..but it is still in me everyday.
My pets---Babydog..and Squeeky..and even the Bird...I love ALL sorts of animals..
Helping people....Yeah...I've always tended to look out for the needs of others before myself..but I wouldn't change it for my own selfishishness...

I'd like to meet:
Today November 7, 2007 marks a very special anniversary date in my life. It is the 40th anniversary of the amazing reunion of my dad and mother who hadn't seen one another for 10 years. Here is my reaccount to this story.
I had started my 7th grade and my curiosity about my actual Dad had started to increase a lot. I started getting information from Mom..and found out I had an aunt in Southwest Missouri. Well on this date in 1967..after saving lunch monies for a couple of days..I went to a little drug store at lunch..and found a phonebooth. I sat in the booth..and placed a call to my Aunt. Obviously she was shocked to hear my 12 year old voice..and I was nervous. I asked her about my dad..and then she unloaded the surprise to me..She said "Would you believe right now on the top of the roof..your dad is visiting me??" She asked if I would like to talk to him..and of course I said "YES". She told Dad her Son was on the phone..and he thought it was his oldest son. Much to his surprise..I told him it was Me...Allan..He was So shocked..and we talked for a few more minutes.. Well to make a long story short, my Dad packed his bags in MIssouri..the ONLY day he was visiting there..and headed to see us. He showed up at 7:00 and it was a much more surprising reunion.
He and Mom chose to get back together..and we headed for Nowata (the courthouse is pictured above).The next day they received their marriage license and we were heading back to Northeast Texas to a little town called Leary..It was 40 years ago..and I wish to share this story with anyone who visits my page...

Music:
I like a variety of musics although Christian music is my most preferred listening pleasure. Mainly I like Southern Gospel Music and the messages that are sung by so many artists...from yesteryear and today. I also like Contemporary Christian..and others in the music field today.I enjoy other music too..Country..Bluegrass..
Folk and Pop...Blues...
Accoustical...and More... I am gaining new musical likes from meeting the different artists on this page. I have been a MUSIC lover since my teen years..and I can appreciate the different musical styles of today. Mainly I listen for the message..and being a former musician..listen for the melody of the song.
Musicianwise..I learned to play the 6 string guitar in my early teens. It was shortly afterwards that I learned to play the bass guitar as well. I have been told I was pretty good..always enjoyed compliments since I don't get to play anymore.
Here is a pic of 2 electric guitars...given to me as keepsakes that my Dear Dad played during his many years of being a musician. Needless to say...they are precious to me

Ernie Haase And Signature Sound---Forgiven Again
Jeff And Sheri Easter--Last Thread of Hope

Of course, the countless number of troops who have fought in the countless number of wars to provide our great nation it's continued freedom. I wish to include this next video from Brittany Wells...The Song is "IN HARM'S WAY". It is a fitting song for our current troops throughout the world..and I want to share it with everyone.
I also want to remember all the lives lost in the Sept 11 and Oklahoma City Murray Building incidences. I have had the opportunity when traveling down to OKC to visit the Murray Memorial site on several occasions.

My dear father was a POW in World War II for 153 days until the day of surrender. He is a hero to me..for various reasons. He fought in a war, and in his later years fought a different battle..the battle of alcoholism. He made such an unbelievable turnaround in his later years before he we lost him in 1997. Dad..I love you..and miss you.I have another tribute page to my dad that others may view it by clicking

I also want to mention another hero to me..Charles Washburn was a stepfather to me in my childhood days. He was a GOOD stepfather...not like the stories so many other people encounter in their lives. He did his best to be active in peewee baseball, scouts and he was a excellent carpenter. We lost him in early 2007..and Charley..I love and miss you dearly.
