Terry grew up in Okemah and Durango, Colorado and attended Creighton University, Omaha; Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, and Denver University, Denver. He received a BSBA in Accounting. He was married on December 28, 1963 to Jan Harriet Gilmore whom he met while working as a lab tech at Clarkson Memorial Hospital Laboratory in Omaha. They were divorced in 1972. There were no children. He has bred and raised Old English Sheepdogs -- says they were easier to train than children and were all champions.
Terry is retired and living in Ocean Beach, San Diego, California. His hobbies include computing, painting, cooking and impersonating great surfers of the '50's, especially when there are any "awesome" surf-chicks around.
Terry's memories include:
* dragging Main Street in Okemah
* hanging out at the teen center with Bea Wells (Okemah)
* buzzing the cemetery at midnight on the back of James Warn's Cushman
Eagle Scooter (Okemah)
* going to a bar in Omaha with George and losing Sally's T-Bird
* summer spent in Kansas smoking grapevines with Dennis
* Lazine & Brownie's Friday night backyard barbeques with friend who
always fell over backwards out of lawn chair and never spilled a drop
out of his drink (or was that Brownie?)
* heart-to-heart talks with Mary Jane when everyone else was gone
* time spent with Genevieve in big house in Oklahoma City when Lois was
having lung surgery
Terry is in a program for Type II (Adult Onset) diabetes and advises everyone in the family to have your doctor check you for diabetes -- especially those over 40.
