Where in the World is Jimmy Burk?
Jimmy is alive and well,living on Garner Lake in Lakeland,TN. He has been blessed with a wonderful wife, Stephanie, who allowed him to work too many hours over his career, two wonderful sons who both work at Fedex(with 7 other of my relatives), two wonderful daughterinlaws, and two wonderful grandchildren, Audrey & Connor. We've been able to make about 30 trips since we retired, and hope to stay healthy to make many more. Last weekend we went to Opryland to see the Rockettes with my son and his wife Jane. The month before we spent a week with our son Josh, Cathy and the two munchkins in Disneyworld and had a great time. The photo is me fixing a microcomputer at DataCommunicationsCorp. I also got to program those in assembler language and eventually went on to program in 7 other computer languages. DCC was my second job, Burroughs being the first. DCC is where I worked with Ancel Hankins & Terry Cox.

Hi Jimmy! I'm alive and well, still at FedEx and celebrated 30 years last month! I began at FedEx in 1982 as a Treasury agent. In June, 1983, I began working for then director Jim Colson in the GEMINI (ZapMail) project. I worked for Jim for over 15 years during which time he was promoted to VP, Technology Services. Jim was tragically killed July 5, 1997 and I worked for several different managers over the years in different positions. I began working in the customer service organization 5 years ago and absolutely love my job. I currently work with the customer service vendor management team as a reporting assistant. I am responsible for all accesses, etc for 500+ technical vendor agents for two third party vendors. I belong to Longview Heights Baptist Church in Olive Branch, MS where I play bass guitar and work on the music ministry team. My husband and I ride with the Christian Motorcyclists Association where I'm the MS State Secretary and also ride with the Patriot Guard Riders. My life is very very blessed and full and I owe everything I am to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

I couldn’t have planned a better working career if I tried.
Thank you all for your friendship, help, guidance and support over the many years, I just wish it didn’t go so quick.
