Jeff’s Bel Meade “roots” go back to 1968 when his parents, COL Harley T. “Swampy” &
Helen Marsh bought their house in Bel Meade.
A graduate of North Texas State University, Jeff and his wife, Mary, lived in numerous
states as they pursued their careers in the financial services industry. No matter where
they resided they always found time to visit San Antonio and Bel Meade. Prior to
relocating permanently to San Antonio three years ago, Jeff & Mary lived in the Chicago
area for almost 14 years where Jeff worked for GE Capital Mortgage. During this time
they started their own successful retail business.
After retiring from GE Capital, Jeff joined his wife in the operation of the business.
Wanting to get to warmer weather, they sold their business and moved to San Antonio.
Currently Jeff devotes his time to charitable and civic endeavors. He sits on the Board
of Directors for Boysville, the Boysville Auxiliary where he assists with the management
of their Thrift Store, and he is on the Board of the Optimist Club of San Antonio where he
is the President-elect.

Andrew and his exquisite wife Yesenia moved to Bel Meade just over a year ago, with
their “babies” (dogs), returning to the city of their vows. Never actually living in San
Antonio before, they are thankful to have been graced with the amazing neighbors they
have met in Bel Meade through their participation in the Garden Club and
neighborhood socials.
Before moving to Bel Meade they lived in Alexandria, VA, where Andrew worked on
Capitol Hill for two U.S. Congressmen. While in the DC area, he started a professional
bookkeeping firm with a business partner that is now a bi-coastal operation with offices
in Washington DC and San Francisco. In addition to managing his business, Andrew
also teaches online undergraduate courses for the University of Phoenix.
Andrew was born and raised around the corner from Tinker AFB in Midwest City, OK. As
the grandson of a Pearl Harbor survivor, he feels right at home in the neighborhood
with its proud military history and proximity to Ft. Sam Houston. Andrew finished
undergrad with a B.S. in Business Administration at the never uncontroversial school,
Oral Roberts University, where he met his beautiful bride. After starting an international
import and retail business with her in Tulsa, OK, Andrew obtained his graduate degree
in International Trade and Development from Oklahoma State University.

Dick and Lynn first moved to Bel Meade in 2002 following his retirement from the Army
and their move from Fort Sam Houston's historical Artillery Post. They initially rented a
home on Wyanoke for approximately 1½ years until they moved to Alexandria, Virginia
and Dick's return to the Pentagon, this time as a civilian. After almost 3 years, Dick
and Lynn decided that they would really prefer to be back in San Antonio. In 2006, they
moved back to Bel Meade after purchasing their home on Medford through the onsite
eyes of their daughter and future in-laws.
Dick was born, raised and educated in suburban Chicago. While in college Lynn and
Dick met and were married while Dick was in graduate school and Lynn was student
teaching. In 1981, while on the staff of Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital in Chicago, Dick
was recruited by the Army Surgeon General's Office to transition from his reserve status
to active duty. Most of his Army career was spent on multiple tours in Washington, DC
and Fort Sam Houston organizations including the Great Plains Regional Medical
Command, Headquarters U.S. Army Medical Command and Fifth U.S. Army. Dick now
works for U.S. Army North (Fifth Army) at Fort Sam Houston. Dick and Lynn are easily
spotted walking around Bel Meade with their 2 rescued greyhounds, Custer and Juliet.
