| Marshall T. Hill | ||
| I am retired now after 24 years in the USAF as a pilot,
planning officer, and manager. After obtaining a MBA at the
University of Texas at San Antonio, I had a second career with a
large insurance company from which I retired in 1999. Geography helped some in my Air Force career as a pilot and planning officer, but had I pursued an engineering degree I would have had a wider range of career opportunities (i.e.; the space program). Of course, as an undergrad, I had no idea what my career path would be and I turned to Geography because I so enjoyed the classes. I did love my days at SIU and still find my way back to Carbondale to visit my cousin and to pay homage to my parents and a sister who are buried in the Cobden Cemetery. Now I play golf, tend to my house and garden, and travel some: Kauai this year and Italy and France last year. I also serve as a volunteer with a youth golf program and at the Texas Open (PGA golf tournament). |
