Candidate

Cary majored in Industrial Education planning on teaching Shop classes at East Texas State University, Commerce, TX. He met Jean during their junior year, were attracted to each other from the first, and have remained so through the years. Upon graduation in 1958, they were married, and moved to San Antonio where Cary had a teaching job in the San Antonio ISD, later switching to work in the industrial field.

After six years employed in industry, he returned to teaching at MacArthur High School, teaching woodworking. Seven years later Cary opened a computer lab at Mac, where he taught until retirement. In addition to teaching he also managed the school computer network utilized by 2500+ students and 250 teachers during his last year. Jean taught for 32 years and Cary for 38.

After retiring they walked for exercise everyday at Crossroads Mall. Passing the APCO facilities, they would pick up free magazines, and became interested in the organization. Cliff and Emma Overfelt persuaded them to join. When the Manager position became available, Joe Brazell persuaded them to manage the Computer Learning Center.

Cary is a member of the Board of Directors, a computer “Doc” for the “Dr. is In” Clinic, assists the Lab Techs, fills in at the counter, and is Co-Manager of the Computer Learning Center.
