Carol Ritter (McCroskey)


I did not finish my senior year in Wiesbaden as we were transferred to Kansas City, making that the 5th high school I attended.  Upon graduation I attended the University Of Colorado and graduated in 1966.  I married Mike McCroskey (WHS61, and USAFA '65) immediately after that and we celebrated 35 years of marriage last February.  After leaving the Air Force, we settled in a small town south of Houston where we raised our two daughters.  It was great to live somewhere permanently and know everyone!  I taught 5th and 6th grade science and math for about 10 years but have been mostly professional volunteer.  Mike is head of the securities and investment department of a large insurance company in Galveston.  We gave four precious grandchildren (who live close by) and enjoy sailing and golf, but we are "obsessed" with scuba diving.   Most of our vacation time is spent diving the world and taking tons of pictures bore our friends with!!
