Narrative: Derl is retired from 30 Years of Federal Service (Navy, Dept of Labor, Dept of Defense). Degrees in Fire Science and Safety Engineering. Worked as Fireman, Law Enforcement, Safety Engineer, and a pretty fair "Outhouse Lawyer". Currently Retired & Self Employed as Owner of Houghton & Associates Consultants (Safety Consultant). All of his family are members of the Church of Christ. Raised 6 Children and has 10 Grandchildren. His greatest accomplishment is to have successfully raise his children without major incident.  He loves, cherishes and is dedicated to his children and grandchildren.  He is a sensitive, caring, and compassionate person and places great value in his personal relationship to his family origin and treasures the wisdom received from family members in a continuous line back to his grandparents, all of which have made an impact on his beliefs, work ethic, and personal pride. He is typical of the traditional Houghton Family Motto: "In Spite of Wrong"  He believes that when things go wrong, one must make the best of a bad situation by turning it into something good, and never look back. He taught his children the value of a dollar, good work ethic, responsibility, and that "everything has a place and should be in it".

**********************************

1960  Married Tommye Jo Waters, Produced a Daughter: Melissa Jo Houghton
Marriage was short term and I did not have an opportunity to raise my daughter nor know where she was taken.  Consequently I have no photos of her when she was growing up. We did finally connect when she was grown. The photo's I have of her is after she was grown and had children of her own. She has two sons ( Chase and Taylor). Melissa & Billy divorced and she has remarried Robert Hernandez and has a daughter (Emily, born in 2001).
