Spouse:    Linda Kay Rogers-Tucker

Children:    Richard the IV (Bo) and  Zach Tucker

Favorite Hangout:    Griff's on Friday and Saturday night with Roady and the crew. Kips and Austin' BBQ

Favorite Teacher:    Mrs. Farmer. Because she encouraged me to write every time I saw her. She would embarrass me by complementing me on my style/flair for writing. 

Type car you drove:    I didn't own a car, I was always with Roady.

Fondest / Worst memories:    

Fondest...well, maybe not the fondest but some of the funniest...I use to laugh out loud at the fights in the lunch room. Some guy running down the middle of the lunch table to get in on the action...what a HOOT!

Worst...certainly not the worst...but. The day we...me, Roady, Boaty and God only knows who else was crammed into Bills Chevy SS and we hit this huge dip on whatever street, going God knows where, entirely too fast and the car getting completely airborne and crashing head on into a fire plug, all-the-while, Pat Lancione driving his car under Bills car before it crashed. Later that night at Bills house his mom... madder than HELL...just couldn't believe we had wrecked another car. Bill and I seemed to always be together when he/we wrecked a car...go figure! My mom use to say,  "You boys should have been joined at the hip! LOL. Didn't know what that meant at the time.

What you've learned since graduation:    I've learned not to sweat the small stuff because 99% of the stuff is small.

What you've been doing since graduation:     Went to College, married my high school sweetheart, did my part in making two wonderful sons, divorced my high school sweetheart, single for a while, finding and marring the love of my life and building our life together. Retired from the Banking/Financial Industry, graduating from Culinary school and starting my Real Estate business. Linda and I are looking forward to retiring within the next couple of years...God willing! 

UPDATE...We retired April 25, 2008!!!
