Bubba Armstrong

I graduated from El Paso High School and then Texas Western college with a Business Admin. degree. After college, I went to work for the Aeronutronic Division of Philco Ford in Irvine, CA., for a little over a year until being accepted into graduate school at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. I was there for three days when I got my draft notice and had to leave school for a tour of duty with the US Army. I served from 1967 until 1969 during which time I was stationed at Ft. Bliss in El Paso and Sattahip, Thailand. As soon as I got out of the Army and back to the states, I married Carol. We taught school for over 30 years, during which time, I completed a Masters Degree in Elementary School Supervision/Administration. Carol and I have been retired for about 9 year, and spend a good bit of our time traveling. Since retirement we have traveled in 31 countries, and hope to make it many more.

Our son and his family live in Tomball, Texas. He has a PhD. in Biochemistry from Texas A&M and is head of his company's biochemical laboratories at their research facility.

Although not a School Story in the way this space was intended. The following is still a School Story: I recently wrote and published a book entitled: Little Bad Bubba, The Kid People Loved To Hate. The link to the publisher and book is provided below.

My book is really not autobiographical at all. I taught school for 30 years and came in contact with many, many students who had horrible lives, both at home and at school. I think most people wouldn't believe how terrible life can be for some of these kids today. Anyway, I wrote the book for them. I wanted to give them some hope. It's a sad book, interspersed with humor to keep them reading, with a good ending.
