40 years! Where to begin…as I look back I remembered that my picture never got into the yearbook…was it because of teenage angst, being a rebel without a clue…NAH!...most likely I just forgot about the deadline to submit them. What follows is my attempt to condense 40 years into a paragraph- right after Clover Park I went to WWU where I met my lovely bride (Nancy), marriage followed quickly and we have with 3 great kids…who are now married and we have 5 great grandchildren. We spent 30 years supporting national defense, and along the way moved the family throughout the US (southwest, eastern seaboard, northern, plains, mountain west and southeast states), and overseas to Italy and Korea…occasionally I spent times in other more challenging cultures and climates. The experiences during these years were tremendous. Faith, family and friends were always there, and remain instrumental in every aspect of our lives. I am currently working in a research development center in Maryland, but we intend to move back to Washington as our final move. Cheers!
