CHARLES DAVID (CHUCK) YODER,
Mangum. I retired from the United States
Army as a Lt. Col. I married Winona Wilhite, '50, in 1952. She died in 1978. Norma
Powell Edwards, '47 and I were married. She
is a retired school teacher. Our children are Carl C. Yoder, David
Yoder, Steve Edwards and Jim Edwards. Our grandchildren are
Stephanie, Jeremy and Jeffrey, children of Steve Edwards;
Christopher, Nathan and Joshua, children of Carl Yoder.
After Mangum High School, I attended Kemper Military School, Boonsville, MO for two years then transferred to Oklahoma A&M, graduating from there in 1953. I entered active duty in the U.S. Army in February, 1953 and retired in September, 1974. During those 22 years, I was stationed in Oklahoma, Maryland, Illinois, Georgia, Kansas and Texas in the United States and Germany, Iran, Argentina and Vietnam overseas. After retirement, I returned to the "Old Home Town" and established a business of retreading general aviation tires. I am now semi-retired and enjoying life.
