To cover the last 40 years short and sweet is a tough call but here goes.

After graduating from Alameda our family moved to southern California just above San Diego.  My parents are still with us and live in Lakewood.  I attended two years of college in California.  In 1966, I knew I was going to be drafted into the military so I enlisted in the USAF.  I was actually drafted into the Army 19 days into basic training for the Air Force.  Lucky me.  I served a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam and am currently the Senior Vice Commander for the Mesa City VFW.  While in the military I married and had two children, Denise Danielle and Brett Tyler.  That marriage ended when I was discharged from the service.

When discharged, I entered the construction industry and moved to several states including New Jersey, Florida, and Nevada.  For 19 years I worked in construction in the Las Vegas area where I met my current wife, Bonnie Rae MacDonald.  By this marriage I have three beautiful grandchildren, Allison, Kath, and Josh.

My wife and I moved to our current location of Mesa, Arizona 2 ½ years ago.  I own a small construction company named “Random Match Wallcoverings”.  Our business specializes in installing wallpaper in model homes for various large builders in the valley.

I still like playing golf and fishing.  I know the fondest memories of high school were having fun with friends and playing sports.  I loved football then and still do.  I am an avid Bronco’s fan, win or lose.

My most inspiring teacher was Max Osborne.  Not just as a teacher but as our football coach and leader as well.  In school I loved partying and slow dancing to Johnny Mathis – still do.  I’m not into the twist anymore.

Well that’s about it for me.  Just wanted to say “Bless you all”.
