Thanks to you Marilynn and all commitee members for organizing  these great reunions and to Jim for creating the wonderful user friendly web site.

Retirement:

  • Kathy and I were  fortunate to be able to work in professions we loved. Kathy worked for the Orange Unified School District for 30 years and retired in 2008. I was self employed for 35 years as a general engineering grading contractor and retired in 2010.

Family:

  • We have two daughters and four grandchildren, ages 14-6. Christy and Rob live Larkspur, Colorado and Mandy and Andy live in Westfield, Indiana.

Hobbies / interest's:

  • Kathy is a crafter and is an active member engaged in philanthropic projects with the Woman's Club of Orange.

  • My passion since I was 14 has been classic and street rod cars and trucks.  Buying/selling, finding and driving these cars that appreciate in value is the real thrill for an older kid.
