Denman Powers - Autobiography

Gulfport MS

After high school I played in a band (Flares) and didn’t attend college until 1960. I went one year to MJC and the next two years at Orlando College in Orlando FL. I did work at the Meridian Star as an ad layout man/sales for about two years, and then moved to Jackson where I worked as an Engineer’s Aide. This is my second marriage (new wife Connie), to whom I’ve been married for 35 years. I have four children and three grandchildren. After Orlando College I spent the next 25 years with a company based out of Houston, TX where I was a Board ops/coordinator. At age of 62 (2002) I retired to Gulfport MS where we bought an acre of land, which is covered with trees, and put a small house right in the middle. I spend my time now with hobbies such as astronomy, motorcycle adventures, recording in a small studio I have in my house, and play the sax on spot gigs in the many casinos we have on the coast. And, currently, I hope to live happily ever after.
