Don Davenport:

Life has been enormous, fantastic and rewarding for me since leaving Princess Anne. I joined the Army with the intent to stay only 3 years; however, it turned into 21 years which I truly loved, respected and eternally grateful. I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel, was a combat helicopter pilot with two tours in Viet Nam, where I received 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses for valor for rescuing personnel, a commander, and staff officer. Received three degrees while on active duty along with a host of other accomplishments. After retirement, I entered the civilian work force as a helicopter pilot, General Manager of a helicopter company, worked as an executive assistance at an oil and gas company with other duties as a helicopter pilot, helicopter pilot for an ABC TV affiliate flying Electronic News Gathering, general manager of a vehicle testing program for Chrysler Corporation and finally as the Director of Transportation for Corpus Christi Independent School District. During my tenure with CCISD, I also served as the State of Texas President for Pupil Transportation, which represented over 1100 school district transportation departments. My wife, Marcia, and I have been married for 25 years; have four children, two each by previous marriages, and ten grandchildren. We now divide our time between our homes in New Braunfels, TX and South Fork, CO. Texas and Colorado are great states, so if you happen to be in either of the areas call or come by and enjoy the great hospitality.
