Nancy Hackney Guille & Sherred Leslie Guille (1999)		Katherine Guille (Perkins) & Sarah Guille (Corbitt) (c. 1965)

After my father's death in 1933, with the Great Depression being in full bloom, my mother started traveling (with me in tow) in search of work, as did 1/4 of the working force of the United States at that time. Our travels took us to various locations in Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico, finally ending up in Albuquerque, NM, where I started school. We lived in Albuquerque for a while, then started west, still in search of work, ending up in Los Angeles, CA. I stayed in Los Angeles until my mother died, when I went to live with her sister, Alverta Jacobs Tribble,  and her family in Chickamauga, Georgia. I graduated from Rossville High School in Rossville, GA, then moved to Chattanooga, TN to live with my father's sister, Catherine Guille Everhart, and her family. 

I joined the U.S. Navy in 1948, and served in the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42) as an Electronics Technician. Later, I was accepted as a Midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD., and, after graduating in 1955, served in various ships and duty stations until I retired in 1982.

Upon retirement from the Navy, I went to work for Rockwell International in Anaheim, CA and Crystal City, VA, retiring from there in 1994.
