Words of wisdom:  Our motto has always been "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be." God willing, we're about to find out!

Favorite memory: One that sticks in my mind is someone threatening the Physics teacher with dropping him out of the second story window. Physics class in itself was pretty memorable.

Currently working for Trinity Health Care System

Favorite memory:  Leaving School during the senior year at noon for student teaching..the ride to McDonald's before..out numbered by the girls..always enjoyed that ride!!
News:  Back to work at Trinity Health Care Systems in Security. Blame the economy. The ER can get a little hectic for a guy my age, but I need the money!
Words of wisdom:   Stay involved as you grow older. Don't think your age is a determining factor to keep you away from what you want to do. There are a lot of employers eager to hire experience. Personally I enjoy being back in the work environment again, however if work is not on your agenda, volunteer! There are some great agencies looking for help in numerous fields.

Favorite Memory: Meeting my 1st wife and going to State Basketball Tourney in 1962.
Words of wisdom: Take care of your health. . .you're getting a little older, ya know.

Favorite memory: Going to and playing basketball at state tournament in '62.
News: Our daughter has just informed us grandchild number three will be arriving later this year.

Favorite memory: Most all of the sporting events

Favorite memory: Too many to list; however, top on the list is the friendships that started and continue to this day.

Favorite memory: Who would have ever thought 40 plus years later I would be writing this! "Wow!" The beginnings of the greatest friendships in the world that I still have today. Laughter is still the best medicine--I treasure every memory.
Words of wisdom: Think young, even if your body tells you otherwise!!! Keep love in your heart and your mind worry free! (You get less wrinkles that way!)
