2006-From 45th memory page:I have missed the last few meetings of our class. I lost my first wife (Sue) over ten year ago. However, my present wife Connie is the bright spot of my life. My two girls are both doing well with local families. After spending many years in sales dealing with GM, Ford, Chrylser and JCI I retired over a year ago. Now spending time fishing and grand kids. Workd at local golf course part time. We go to Florida or down south for Jan-Mar to stay away from the snow. I had open heart bypass about three years ago and am doing fine. I look forward to my further retirement. Hope to see many of you Friday night.
