Meter Meter On the Wall

Mike McManigal grew up in rural west Texas and after graduation from West Texas State University (now West Texas A & M University) he worked in government farm program administration for several years before moving to the city and being employed by a major electric utility. During his eighteen years in middle management with the utility company, he was always able to see the humor in situations and began early-on keeping a journal of some of the funny and ridiculous happenings that came to his attention. During these public utility years, he also taught for a time in a Junior College and also served as their public relations director. Upon retiring from that career, he moved back to the slower paced life of small town living and entered his current career as a high school social studies teacher. He and his wife have been married 48 years and have 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.
