Military

My husband got stationed in the area with the Air Force in 2004. He decided to retire in 2007, so we stayed here since our kids were in middle and high school. Been here 18 years now. Seen the town grow to a city and the schools grow to multiple schools in the area! Originally from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, but left there in late ’80s and traveled with the Air Force. Never thought we’d end up in the Southwest! — Trina Stark
