Enjoying retirement. Traveling to National Parks, spending time at our Lake home and with our family. We now have two great grandchildren.

Like the shirt says "Life is Good!"

-------------------------------------

After high school I worked at Pepsi Cola in Sunnyvale as a salesmen until 1967 when I decided to relocate to a less populated area.  I moved to Spokane, Washington and stayed. My first marriage blessed me with three children. I spent five years as a single parent until I met my wife, Diane, in 1977.  Diane had four children when we married, which allowed me to win the `classmate with the most children award' at our 20th reunion.  Some awards are really earned.

My working years were spent as a salesmen and business owner. We started a business supplying commercial chemicals, equipment, service and certification training to the restoration and carpet cleaning industry in Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho and Western Montana.  Diane and I grew our business from the two of us, to ten people. In 2011 we sold our business and retired.  I feel lucky that every day I got to work at something I liked doing.

Our seven children have given us  fifteen grandchildren.  No great grandchildren yet but, I bet someone will be working on that soon. A large family has kept us busy and quite engaged as grandparents.

We split our time now between our home in Spokane and our lake home in Twin Lakes, Idaho.  We enjoy the four seasons where we live and do outdoor activities, like snowshoeing and hiking.  My hobbies are cooking, reading history and going to the gym.
 
I have always felt very fortunate to have spent my youth growing up in Campbell and my high school years at Campbell High School.  I look forward to seeing my classmates at our 50th. Go Buc's!
