Notes for Raymond Earl Coldewey:
Raymond was born in Scurry County, in a small community called China Grove. China Grove was located south,
southeast of Snyder. When he was four years old the family moved to a farm 6 1/2 miles north of Loraine, Texas
in Mitchell County. This is where he lived until he graduated from Loraine High School in May 1957.
During Raymond's school years he was active in basketball and tennis. Raymond was also active in the band
from the 6th grade until he graduated. For 2 years he was the Drum Major of the Marching band. He was part of
the Junior Play and the Senior Play. These were activities that his class did to help raise money for their Senior
trip.
Raymond moved to Midland after graduation from high school and lived with his brother, while trying to find a
job. His first job was with an auto parts company, Eubanks Auto Parts. He also worked a short time for a
plumbing and air conditioning company as a plumbers helper. Finding it difficult to get ahead and find a job he
liked in Midland, Raymond moved back to Loraine and helped his dad on farm. He also got a job with the Texas
Highway Dept on a survey crew. He did this for about a year, and then decided he would try college on his own.
Taking the money he had saved, he enrolled in Howard County Jr. College for the fall term of 1958. His money
lasted only about 6 weeks, having lots of fun and not saving his money or finding a part time job, Raymond had to
go back to work. He moved back to Midland where he got a job with Southwestern Bell on January 19, 1959.
This is where he met his wife, Fern. She was working for Shell Oil Company in Midland. They married,
November 24, 1960 at the First Baptist Church in Midland, Texas. They lived in Midland until Raymond joined
the Air Force in October 1961. As it turned out, Raymond & Fern spent 37 weeks in Wichita Falls, Texas, while
Raymond was learning how to repair teletype machines. Other training he received in the Air Force, was Cable
Splicing, working on Atlas Missile systems cable to the various missile silos around Altus, Oklahoma. Dianne
was born while they were in Altus, Oklahoma.
After being discharged from the Air Force in 1965, Raymond went back to work for Southwestern Bell, in
Abilene, Texas. Cynthia was born in Abilene. While in Abilene, Raymond pursued his desire of going to college
and begin going to night school. They lived in Abilene, until they moved to Austin, Texas.
In Austin, Raymond continued to going to college at night, while working during the day. Up to this point
Raymond had worked in the Sales/Marketing Dept of Southwestern Bell. One of the things he liked best while in
Austin, was working on the State of Texas Telecommunications. During the legislative sessions he and his team
worked in the State Capital Building, taking care of the State's Telephone requirements.
In 1979, Raymond's job took them to San Antonio, Texas, where he worked in the assessment of new hires for the
