Robert E Pepple
Class of 1959
Air Force, 20+ Years
Spent two years at Jacksonville University, married Pat Morris in 1961 and enlisted in the Air Force in 1962. Spent 20 years in the AF. Spent 8 years as an enlisted man and worked on B52s in Plattsburgh, NY. The AF sent me to Ohio State University and graduated with a BS in Physics in 1969.
Was commissioned in 1970 and became a Space Surveillance Office tracking space objects and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles out of Russia for five years. Spent 3 of those 5 years in Italy and got to see a lot of Europe. Also got a MS in Psychology while in Italy.
Came back to the US in 1975 and became a base Manpower Officer and Management Engineering Team Commander at Homestead, AFB in Miami, FL. as my last tour of duty. Got a MBA at the University of Miami (1982) just before I retired from the AF.
Spent the next 11 years as a Total Quality Management Consultant working 8 years with Florida Power & Light in Miami, FL and 3 years as the Director of Total Quality for Schreiber Foods in Green Bay, WI.
Came back to Jacksonville in 1993 and started a Executive Search and Placement Company and retired from that in 2006.
Have been living the "Good Life" and woodworking since 2006.
Oh, by the way, I left out the best part of my life and the real fruits of my labors.
48 years later, Pat is still putting up with me and we have two wonderful sons.
One is a Commercial Photographer and small business owner (Just type Rob Pepple on any search engine) and my youngest son is a doctor in Cumming, GA (Atlanta area – Just type Dr Kyle Pepple on any search engine)
They both married wonderful girls so we have two great daughter-in-laws too.
Now, I saved the best for last, we have 5 perfect grandchildren. The oldest (Evan) just started Florida State University and the youngest (Sean) is 5 yrs old and lives in Atlanta area.
So you won’t think I am prejudice, I have included photos of my wonderful family…..Ha
Please check out my photo album.
