Norma Flatt 2005

 

 

 

 

 

I have lived in Duncanville for 40 years (except for the 9 years my husband and I semi-retired to Decatur, Texas to raise Longhorn cattle) and I have 2 daughters, 1 granddaughter and 2 grandsons all graduated from DHS and one still attends
school here at Byrd Jr. High.  My husband and I started a custom frame business 34 years ago and I assumed the business when he passed away in 2001. From 1969 till 1991 I worked at the Duncanville Suburban newspaper.  My main job was selling advertising, but in those days you did anything that need done from running paper stands, to putting the paper together before press time.

I was in the first class of the Citizens Fire Academy and was part of the committee
that organized the DCFAAA with the guidance of Fire Chief Terry Webb and academy co-coordinator Travis Tooker along with assistance from TCFAAA President/ECFAAA Don Martin.  I was also the DCFAAA first president, which that first year was a learning experience on both the fire department, and ours, but we did accomplish a great many things that first year.


I am currently a member of the Duncanville Citizens Fire Academy Alumni Association and past president, a delegate for DCFAAA to the Texas Citizens Fire Academy Alumni Association, a member of the Duncanville Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association and a past president, member of the Duncanville Noon Lions Club and servicing as secretary, a past member of the Keep Duncanville Beautiful board, and The Greene Homeowners Association board.  I have also been a member of the Duncanville High School Band and Baseball booster clubs and volunteered working concession stands during the football, basketball and baseball games.  I was also a host family the summer of '05 and '06 for 3 college baseball players on the Duncanville Deputies Collegiate team.

I enjoy attending sport activities of my grandson along with quilting, knitting, doing yard work and tracing my family history.  Since I have ended my semi-retirement lifestyle and have gone back to working 6 days a week at our family business my volunteer’s hours have not been as many as in the past, but I try to work in as much as possible. 

 

 

Bill Crumpton 2006

Bill retired after 22 years of Military service in the Air Force in 1988 and spent the next 15 years serving in various capacities at Christ For The Nations, ending as the director of Security on the 76 acre campus.  Bill’s life has been one of service and he has continued that through his volunteer activities in the city of Duncanville.  Bill has served on the Board of Adjustments for the City of Duncanville and is the Vice Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board.   After moving to Duncanville in 1997, Bill and his wife attended both the Citizen’s Police Academy and the 2nd class of the Citizen’s Fire Academy.  In the years since graduation Bill served as Vice President the first year of the Alumni program  and President of the CFAAA in its second year.  He  is also 1st Vice President of the CPAAA.  

While President of CFAAA, the Cart van was moved from Duncanville Church of Christ to the Fire department which brought the Alumni into more involvement with the program and the CERT program was introduced to the Academy graduates.  Also during this period the Knox Box program was birthed and under the leadership of Lyle Hodges is becoming a vital part of the city.
