Everette Carr, born in the small town of Weir, Mississippi in 1936. Raised in Memphis, Tennessee. Served four years with the United States Air Force from 1954-1957. Attended Memphis State University on the GI Bill. Married in 1960 to the former Nancy Leith of Memphis, Tennessee. Nancy and I raised two wonderful daughters. At various times we lived in Memphis, Tennessee; Little Rock, Arkansas; Houston, Texas; Olive Branch, Mississippi and Allentown, Pennsylvania. Nancy and I were married forty years when she passed away in January, 2001. Now widowed four years, I still reside in Allentown, Pennsylvania, a place we have called home since 1968. My daughters are now grown with families of their own. I am blessed with four grandchildren that are the center of my universe. Fortunately, I am truly blessed for they live only ten or twelve minutes away.
I am retired from Chrysler Corporation and thoroughly enjoy life where 'every day is Saturday'. I enjoy and am passionate about cycling, photography, fishing, genealogy, history, computers, graphic art, model railroads, reading and creating websites. I consider myself a student of the Civil War and I spend a lot of time in libraries and in front of my Dell computer. But I still find time to ride one of my three bikes (track, road & mountain), cut the grass at the cemetery (where I volunteer) or enjoy the bike races at the velodrome, where I am the Volunteer Coordinator for Security. I am the County Coordinator for Attala County, MS for both ALHN and MSGenWeb and the CC for the 'Nome Census Area', Alaska for ALHN. I am also the webmaster for the Attala Historical Society and the East Coast Velo Cycling Club. I administer a web site for the 'Hall of Fame', for the Lehigh Valley Velodrome and have created numerous other web sites for my own amusement and pleasure. I am the Editor of 'The View Inside' the quarterly newsletter I created for Cedar View Apartments, the elderly apartment where I live .
My philosophy of life is taken from Aesop's Fables and is the philosophy of the cricket..."Know that your life is short, stockpile little, and sing while you can."
