Moye Retreat Center

 

Dan "Corky" Sullivan

I attended Moye in 1954, 1955 & 1956, in the 7th & 8th grade. In the 7th grade I lived in the "Rock House." In the 8th grade I was in a private room. I was on the drill team in the 7th grade & we performed in the "Battle of Flowers" parade in San Antonio. I was the "Drum Major" in the 8th grade. At field day in the 8th grade, my roommate, Jose "Pepe" Nader Junior III, from Monterrey Mexico won "Mister Moye." I won a medal for "The cadet who tried the hardest & didn't win anything." I entered every event I could.  Today I live on the water near Galveston in a village called "Bayou Vista Texas." It is located near the Galveston causeway where State Highway 6 runs into IH 45. I worked as an electronics technician until about 1989, when I went back to school at 50 years old to become a teacher. I have taught  High school electronics & computer maintenance in Colorado City Texas for 3 years, Dominguez State Jail  in San Antonio for 2 years, Medina Valley High School in Castroville Texas for 3 years, A & M Consolidated High School in College Station Texas for 1 year & Lamar High School in Houston Texas since 2000. At Lamar, I left the classroom & became the school Technical Director. I am now 63 years old & work full time. I also buy & sell boats when I am not fishing. I have been married to Marjorie Zimmerman Sullivan for 21 years. We are both from Corpus Christi. I had a had a very serious drinking problem until 1971, when I became a member of a 12 step program & sobered up. I am still a member of that 12 step program & have been sober, one day at a time, for over 33 years at this time. We are active members of our church, Arcadia First Baptist Church, in Santa Fe Texas. I have been on mission trips, through our church, to Brazil & Australia. I have written music & played the guitar for the last 49 years. I would love to help all of us to stay in touch. My life's hero was Coach Ted Stecker! Our phone is 713/927-4547. Our address is 108 Tarpon, Bayou Vista, Texas 77563
