Pat and I love to scuba dive and enjoy the Pacific. Have done multiple trips to the Philippines, Fiji, Great Barrier Reef and many locations in the Carribean. Love to bow hunt, mountain bike, and garden. Biggest adventure remains the time spent with the Grandchildren. Life has been very good to us. Pat and I have been married for 42 years.

School Story

We were blessed to have been born in such an exciting place that provided adventure and a good education. I started skiing at a very early age and continued that for a lifetime. As children, we hiked in the woods and played many sports. Schools were amazing and looking back, a good education is what we all got. Looking back we were part of a community with some of history's best scientific minds. My pride in the mission of Los Alamos is strong to this day. Many of our fathers fought in World War II, came home and worked to keep our country strong and free.

Happy Birthday, old Pard. Any man that loves water is a friend of mine, eh? I'm heading to Saskatchewan again, 28th time, to hunt snow geese and whatever else I can blast out of the air. My new aortic system will help a lot (Thank you human heart donor! [My congenital defects finally caught up with me.]). You still in Steamboat? I'm in Livermore.
