PeeWee served in the National Guard of Texas, the Army Artillery Unit in Korea, and later in the Army Reserve for five years after active duty.  After a 40-year career with AT&T, he retired in 1992.

Wes was a trader by nature.  During his time with AT&T/Southwestern Bell, he spent his spare time buying, selling, and trading used cars.  After retirement, he spent his years maintaining a small herd of cattle.  Wes was also a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan.  They were his team through thick and thin.  He dearly loved Snyder and all his friends here.
