Without any visible evidence of having worked at it, Joe graduated magna cum
laude from the University of Alabama
(telecommunications and film) in May, 2002. He's working in California, where
he's served on the staff of several television programs. His most recent gig
is as a writer for the Talk
Show with Spike Feresten on Fox. He's entirely too
far from home for his parents' taste. You can see some of his recent
work
Yellowhammer Films.Joe
is married to the former Michelle F. Veale, a wonderful girl from
Auburn, Alabama, whom he met in California. Joe and Michelle
have an infant son (our first grandchild -- yeah!) named Smith. They
would also want you to know they have a Welsh Corgy named Atlas.
When Joe was young, he had a murderous wit that enabled him to
skewer those he disliked or merely found annoying. It kept us
laughing, but it also worried us. As Joe has matured, he has become
more sensitive, more loving, and a true gentleman (but still wickedly
funny). He's good company to his parents and a phenomenal cook.
For the
benefit of those of you who have not had a child leave home, let me say that
it's fun for dads to see their children spread their wings and struggle with
their own decisions. Among other things, when you know you don't have to do what
Dad says, it becomes safe again to ask for his advice. Cool, huh?
