Dr. Bill Asbury
Upon leaving the Corps I entered the field of education. Eventually. advancing thru the administrative ranks to become a high school principal, and superintendent of schools . Along the way I finished my Masters Degree and my Doctorate in Educational Administration—-I was aided in this effort by receiving one of two fellowships awarded to the City of Richmond Public Schools by the University of Virginia. I worked during those years in the Richmond Public Schools, The City of Chesapeake Public Schools, Caroline County Public Schools and Pulaski County Public Schools. I also taught as an adjunct instructor part time graduate level courses in educational administration at Virginia Commonwealth University, J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College, Old Dominion University and Tidewater Community College. I retired from my educational career in 1998 and worked part time at New River Community College for a few more years.
Kay did a wonderful job raising our two beautiful children ( Kimberly and Clay ). She received her RN Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and worked in various hospitals in the Richmond area for several years. Kay also fought a courageous battle with Multiple sclerosis for many years before losing her battle in 2011.
I never regretted my decision to leave the Corps when I did. The memories I’ve shared in this project convey my deep affection for the United States Marine Corps and the men and women who serve and have served. I’ll forever be indebted to the Corps for the foundation for success that it provided.
Semper Fi!
