OK, I’ll give it a shot since I never “officially” introduced myself.


My handle on here is gzrglide, short for geezer glide, that is what my kids have always called my Harley’s. However, my name is Brent, am 53 and will be 54 in January. I grew up in Trumann, RCC and I were in the same class and attended the same church growing up. After graduating in 78, enlisted in the Navy and spent 25 years, retiring as a Lt. Cdr. In ’81, married my high school sweet heart and we will have our 33rd anniversary in January. We have two kids, son is 29 and daughter is 27, two grand daughters, one is four and the other is two. We have lived in Pocatello Idaho, Summerville South Carolina, Orlando (technically Belle Isle) Florida, and Belle Vernon, PA. Moved back to Arkansas in 2003 when I retired from the Navy. Since then we have lived in Valley View and I am working at Frito Lay here in Jonesboro as Facilities Manager. Eligible to retire from Frito when I turn 55, and trying to decide if I stick with this or start a third career. Been crappie fishing since ’68, haven’t hunted since High School. In South Carolina and Florida also did some Bass fishing and guiding for Bass part time. My current boat is an Alumacraft MV Crappie Magnum (17 ft stick steer) with a 40 horse Evinrude. Since this boat is about 15 years old now, trying to decide what I want next, torn between a stick steer War Eagle or a hyper lift xpress. Since I like the river and fishing swamps so much will probably stick with the War Eagle as it is a bit narrow and the stick steer is the best thing since sliced bread for fishing by myself.


My wife decided this year that we were going to start camping and bought a new Jayco Feather lite camper, so if we can get the time off, we may see everyone at Dardanelle in April.


Don’t think I missed anything, if I did, just ask…
