Roger Marroquin & Elvira Cavazos Marroquin - Life After The Last Reunion

This is just a brief summary of our life after the first reunion in 1979.  Roger and I were engaged on November 10, 1979.  We were married on September 6, 1980.

Roger was stationed in Ft. Hood, TX.  I lived in Harlingen and continued to teach in San Benito, TX.  Roger was later transferred to Illesheim, Germany on his last tour.  I joined him soon after school was out in May 1981.  Roger was in charge of Housing, so we were required to live on base.  I taught in Germany for two years.  We would travel to the different countries every chance we had.

We returned to Texas and Roger retired in 1983.  I continued my teaching career at the same school that I taught at before leaving to Germany until my retirement in 1996. 

In 2004, Roger and I visited our daughter, Anelies in Alaska before her retirement from the Air Force.  Roger and I travel as much as possible.  We take frequent trips to Austin, TX as our youngest son,  Brian and our only grandson, Brian Joseph live in Austin.  Brian Joseph has made the "All Star" in baseball the last three years, so we are very proud of him.  We also enjoy our trips to New Mexico.  Anelies made Albuquerque her home.  Rogie, our middle son lives in Santa Fe.

Roger's hobbies are hunting and fishing.  We take at least three trips to Lousiana every year.  My hobbies are reading, doing aerobics, yoga and doing volunteer work.

At home, we usually watch all  kinds of sports on TV, visit with family and enjoy each other's company.
