I grew up in Massachusetts and moved to NH upon our marriage. From there
we raised our family of 4, 3 boys, 1 girl. I worked as an Electronics
Test Technician, an Automotive Technician (owned 3 garages), a Heavy
Equipment Tech & Manager, and as an Equipment Maintenance Specialist and
Project Manager for a foundry. I presently am involved in starting up a
new business venture.
I enjoy computer programming, music and books, especially history. I
have been an elder and teacher in a reformed church since 1976
Corey Turnbull: I think I know most of you,
and although I have been absent the last few years. I have watched from
a far and kept up in newsletters and such. I think TCA is in a great
place and finally posed for some fantastic growth, if we do it right.
While staying true to Dottie and Jim, we can move this group into the 21
century and put everything else to bed.
My primary objective in helping will be to ask a couple of simple
questions. Is this fun? Whats in it for the person and why would they
sign up? If I can answer these questions than I will be satisfied.
Canada remains an area of untapped potential for TCA - but it takes a
lot to get Canadians out of our shell and while we remain a very liberal
country (as you have recently seen) we can also be conservative and
suspicious. It doesn't take much to quickly decide the value of
something and turn our back if we feel it has nothing for us. It's
possible we are linked to the Turnbulls of Rossie (grin) !!! Just
Kidding Lee !!! No offence.
Bill Trimble: I am 57 years old and, a
Vietnam Veteran. I was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington, USA and am
currently living in Richland, Washington, USA where I am a contract
security officer for the General Services Administration of the US
government.
My grandfather started me out at an early age learning about my heritage
and the lore of the Turnbulls. I got started in Scottish Highland Games
in 1997 and (with my brother Kim) started hosting a tent in 1999. I've
not been to Scotland yet, but am hoping to go within the next couple of
years.
Sarah Turnbull Snow
My husband and I live in Chapel Hill, NC, where we recently moved to
after living for 25 years in Atlanta, GA. He was ready to 'come home'
as he is a native North Carolina and a "tar heel born and bred". We
have been active in many Scottish activities both in NC and Atlanta for
quite a number of years (his Mother's family is Clan Fraser) and I am
from the Florida Turnbulls.
Looking forward to helping in anyway to expand the clan and grow. |

Dana Hume: I was born at a very early age,
in Oakland, California. Raised all of my life in the San Francisco Bay
Area, lived mostly in Lafayette, California, and now in Concord,
California. I am 46 years young with a beautiful nine year old daughter,
Elena. Actually, there is not much difference in our ages mentally, so
we get along very well.
I have had a great interest in the "Turnbull Family"....immediate and
from afar, for a very long time. My father started his interest back in
the 1960s, and I am the one that has inherited his genes to carry on our
Turnbull Family Book of Documents. I am the only one in my immediate
family that has made that trek to Scotland, besides my father and
mother, and I have done so three times. I HIGHLY recommend the Scottish
boarders and Edinburgh. Some of my best memories are of my travels
there!
I currently work for a local school district, on a state-mandated
program (oh darn those special interest groups, but it does keep me
employed). Soon we will be moving to Meridian, Idaho, mostly by the
seat of our pants, like pioneers to uncharted territory; Bigger home,
better schools, and good snow skiing. My new Idaho car license plate
will have a baked potato with a slab of butter pictured on it.
I am looking forward to this new endeavor! I am so happy to be a member
of TCA!
George B. Turnbull: Im 54, married with
four kids (adults) and live 2 miles south of Hawick on the A7 in a
converted late 18th century horse driven threshing mill. I also own a
design and marketing company from the premises and in recent years have
launched a business planning, management development and marketing
system called Turn The Bull To Your Advantage. As you would expect with
a name like that it is achieving excellent results for clients.
Išve been
involved with the Turnbull Clan Association since it was founded by the
late John Guttieš Turnbull. The Association has been almost latent in
Scotland for some time but now with this new spirit of enthusiasm from
yourselves Išm sure things will pick up apace in the next year or so. |
