I currently live in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas for the past 5 years. Moved here after a fire burned down my house in DeSoto in 2018.
I've been married since 2008 to the former Pam Cox Harrison, a '71 graduate of Carter HS.
I have a daughter, Shannon Betz Decker, who lives in Prosper with my 3 grandkids, Connor (12), Mason (11), Weston (4). They keep me very active with all of their sports activities. I also have 3 step children, Summer (NJ), Matthew (Dallas) and Christal (AZ), with a total of 6 more grandkids (2 boys & 4 girls). Makes the holidays a little crazy!
During some of my free time, I enjoy playing golf with some of my former classmates & friends and playing pickleball with the wife and my daily 2 mile walk around Flag Pole Hill area, weather permitting.
With the rest of my free time, I also enjoy my part time jobs, which includes, football and basketball. I have been working for the NFL/Cowboys for the past 35 years as a statistitian, the last 26 as the Stats Crew Chief, the last 23 years with the Cotton Bowl, 12 years with SMU football and occasional basketball games, Arlington Renagades of the XFL, Frisco Fighters of the Arena Football League, as well as other local Bowl games, NCAA Division 1 National Championship games the last 7 years, State High School playoffs the last 11 years.

Hope to travel to Europe again this summer!

I have had an interesting business and legal career advising US and non-US clients and handling cross-border business transactions. My practice has given me the opportunity to travel throughout Europe, but also in Asia. I have made many friends through my practice, and I continue to try to maintain my ties with them, but i treasure my classmates at Sunset and Stockard. Gathering a few momentos for the Reunion event and flipping through the year books has been a rich trip back into the past. I am looking forward to seeing everyone!

My husband, Lloyd Stout, has been a wonderful companion. We enjoy traveling, skiing, hiking and sailing. His technical background and skills and sense of humor give us an endless of channels to laugh and learn.

Married for right at 34 years, was blessed with one beautiful, brilliant, amazing daughter who is now a RN and also one awesome, grown stepdaughter. After working in the credit union & business fields for years, I then found my true calling as a full time Mom and a PreK and Kindergarten teacher for 20 plus years. When we became empty nesters, we were looking forward to retiring and traveling. but have put those plans on hold allowing my dad to move in with us for the last 4 years, as he has Dementia/Alzheimer and is totally bed bound. Life has certainly had its twists and turns, but through it all, the Lord has blessed me and continues to beyond measure. Can't wait to see everyone again.
