The Coffman Family
Well I see you found the family...so come on in and meet everyone:)
First let me introduce us...We are the Coffman's, Gary and Rita. We live in Port St. John, Florida which is located between Cocoa and Titusville, FL on the east coast. We have been married since May of 1969.We both work, and we both enjoy bowling and playing golf.
During our time in the Air Force, we moved a lot, as do all military families. We started out in FL (where Stephanie was born),then on to MA for a year, then to Anchorage,AK for three years (where Jerry was born). From there we went to Charleston,SC, then to Tampa,FL, then to Melbourne,FL where Gary retired from the Air Force. We were afforded the oppurtunity to see the entire eastern states, then from Florida to Missouri through Canada, all over Alaska, the western states through the southeast and more. What a great and beautiful country we live in! And Canada's not bad either.
We are animal lovers, having owned many dogs over the years, the last one being a wonderful Doberman named Baron Von Coffman, whom we lost to cancer in December of 1997 after 11 blissful years together. In April, 1998 we got a new family member, Taz, from the local animal shelter. Taz was found stray, and though his background cannot be confirmed, we believe he is part fox terrier, part Chihuahua. Taz has also acquired the nickname of the Terror, and with good reason :) In June 2002 we brought home a beautiful baby greencheek conure we named Elvis. On June 17,2003 we added another dog from the humane society to our family. Bubba is around 4 years of age, and is thought to be part Westhighland White Terrier, part sneaky neighbors dog.He is quite a character.
Stephanie, our daughter, is 33 and is a Correctional Officer for the Brevard County Sheriff's Office. She works at the Brevard County Detention Center where she deals with almost 1500 inmates from misdemeanors to death row inmates. She received a masters degree in Counseling from Webster University in 2000. She graduated from Minot State University with a BA in Psychology, a major in Criminal Justice, and a concentration in Sociology in May of 1998. Stephanie and her husband Tim built a house in Port St. John in 2001. Tim has been employed by Terminix International since November 1998 after serving 7 years in the Air Force. Below you will find a link to Stephanie's homepage.
Jerry, our son, is 30 and works for Terminix International since finishing his tour with the Navy in 2001. He is looking into becoming a Correctional Officer for the Department of Corrections at the Brevard Correctional Institution which is a prison for youthful offenders across the street from where his sister works.
We were fortunate in 2000 to take our dream vacation to Australia! We spent 4 days in Sydney and 4 days in Cairnes (the great barrier reef). While in Sydney we visited many of the historical sites, took a side trip into the mountains, visited a zoo where we actually got hands on with a koala bear! On our way back into Sydney from our mountain excursion, our bus driver drove us through the Olympic site! In Cairnes we went up into the rain forest via cable car, down into the Great Barrier Reef, got to play with live kangaroos, and did actually hold a koala bear, not just get a photo next to it. We would have brought Basil home in a heart beat! Overall, the trip was everything we expected and then some! The people were absolutely wonderful, and the country exquisite! Our next trip...hopefully Germany!
