Spouse: Vicki, married for decades.
Home: South of Tacoma, a bit off Mountain highway, WA
Phone: 253-380-4948 (business and personal)
Children: Nine children, ages 22 to 44, and 11 grandsons plus the same number of granddaughters. Number 23, the tiebreaker, a grandson, is due the end of August. We're currently raising four of the grandchildren.

Many of us experienced our school years on "The Island" as an early life highlight, and for me it was one of the most important lifetime highlights.

While having children there was time for me to complete a B.A., M.A., and a Ph.D. I've been working in the mental health field since December, 1974, currently as a psychologist (Forensic). Before that I was in the Air Force and maintained and repaired air traffic control radar systems.

I continued playing competitive tennis, including two to three hours per day in graduate school, until 1992 when my doctors figured out I probably should have had a fatal coronary on the tennis court (both a long and short story depending on ones interest, but now somewhat boring to me).

I've lived sequentially in Seattle, Biloxi, Duluth MN, Zweibrucken Germany, back to various locations in WA, off to Muncie Indiana, then Memphis TN, followed by Roseburg OR, and 23 years ago to the Tacoma area.

Other travels have included Puerto Rico and 12 weeks back in Europe during 2008.

Future plans include Australia and New Zealand, return to selected parts of Europe plus some new ones, as well as parts of South America. In between, hit the road as often as possible in our motor home.

Reconnecting with MIHS '62 classmates is the current top of the list of must do's. See ya soon.
