BIO: TOMMY MURRAY/JUDY (WELLS) MURRAY

JUDY AND I WERE MARRIED IN PAMPA ON AUGUST 9, 1957. WE JUST CELEBRATED OUR 50^TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH GOOD HEALTH, A WONDERFUL FAMILY, AND ARE HAPPILY LIVING OUR RETIRED LIFE IN QUAIL CREEK COUNTRY CLUB, A ROBSON ADULT RESORT COMMUNITY, LOCATED IN GREEN VALLEY, AZ (14 MILES SOUTH OF TUCSON).

I SPENT 30 YEARS IN THE CORPORATE WORLD SPLITTING THIS CAREER BETWEEN THE SOFT-DRINK AND SNACK FOOD INDUSTRIES. JUDY AND I RELOCATED 12 TIMES DURING MY CORPORATE EMPLOYMENT WITH MOVES TO LUBBOCK, DALLAS (4 TIMES), CORPUS CHRISTI, HOUSTON, CHICAGO, NEW JERSEY, ATLANTA (2 TIMES), AND ROCHESTER, NY. I SERVED AS PRESIDENT/CEO OF CURTICE-BURNS FOODS SNACK DIVISION FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS OF MY CORPORATE LIFE.

IN 1995, I SEMI-RETIRED AND RETURNED TO ATLANTA. WE THEN WENT INTO OUR OWN BUSINESS AS A FRANCHISEE FOR MAIL BOXES, ETC AND SUCCESSFULLY OPENED 3 NEW STORES PLUS PURCHASING 1 EXSISTING STORE. WE REALLY ENJOYED THE BUSINESS AND IT WAS VERY GOOD TO US AND PROVIDED AN EXCELLENT TRANSITION FROM CORPORATE LIFE TO FULL RETIREMENT IN 2003.

WE HAVE ONE DAUGHTER, CAROL VUKOVICH, WHO WAS BORN ON OUR FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY (1958). SHE IS MARRIED TO GEORGE VUKOVICH, A FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER, WHO PLAYED FOR THE 1980 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION TEAM-PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES.

THEY BLESSED US WITH TWO WONDERFUL GRAND CHILDREN, MIKE AND MATTHEW, WHO COMPLETED THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION AT SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND AUBURN RESPECTIVELY. WE NOW HAVE 3 GREAT GRAND CHILDREN WITH MIKE HAVING 2 DAUGHTERS AND MATT 1 SON.

WE PLAY GOLF AT LEAST 3-5 TIMES PER WEEK, BELONG TO 3 BRIDGE GROUPS, A GOURMET CLUB, TRAVEL A LOT AND ARE SO BUSY WE USUALLY FALL IN BED BY 9:00 PM EACH NIGHT TOTALLY EXHAUSTED.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF YOU AT OUR REUNION IN SEPTEMBER.
