William S. Burch

Retired 2010 from varied career as Accountant and Purchasing Agent. (I worked for 17 different companies in my career - government, schools, manufacturers and distributors. Never could stay more than 13 years. A combination of mergers, acquisitions, bad economy etc wrecked havoc on my consistancy.) I still love the Redskins, follow Dodgers - retired as an usher for AAA baseball farm team - Albuquerque Isotopes. Am still preparing income tax returns, and doing a little consulting work in accounting. Have been the treasurer of our Homeowners Association since 2007. I was (term expired 12/31/2014) the volunteer coordinator at pickleball location, and treasurer of the pickleball affiliate of the NM Senior Sports Foundation. I was playing (now injured) pickleball 3 times per week, and won gold medals at the NM Senior Olympics. Have 4 grandchildren who make my day regularly, and am lucky enough to have them living nearby. Travel is good - 2012 to Orlando, to Alaska 2013, Williamsburg, VA in 2014, 2015 cruise to Eastern Carribean! Spent summers 2012 Meniscus tear, 2013 foot surgery, and 2014 - total knee replacement. shd've done these in the winter!

I spent some time at the smoking area on the black top, chorus, football games, great basketball games. My favorite memory was when the Concert Choir (me a baritone) went to the Pagent of Peace on the Washington DC mall. Add to that performances such as The Wizard of Oz (chorus) and Carnival (I was a roustabout). My senior prom date got married (not to me) about two months after the prom. Hmmm ... Wish I lived closer to school so I could've had more interaction with some very cute girls - you know who you were ... After that:
University of Maryland 1971 - BS Accounting
University of New Mexico 1992 - MBA
