Hi!

Six years ago, we built a house in a valley north of Phoenix, giving me an opportunity to stop working and spend 3 years transforming raw desert into something livable, both for us and the animals native to the place.  Since then, gifts of a digital camera and genealogy software have given me 2 new hobbies, well -1 hobby and 1 full-time addiction.  Both give us good reasons to travel, which we do whenever possible.  I need to check out Dodie’s book as both Rocky and I have significant Scots ancestry and Scotland is on our list of places to visit.

Rocky works for Honeywell and after numerous corporate mergers and acquisitions along with building modifications, he now finds his desk is just feet away from where it was when he started working for Sperry in 1968.  He is planning his retirement which is still 3 to 5 years away.  We are looking forward to escaping the summer heat by traveling a few months each summer and then enjoying our desert home during the winter.

Both of our daughters live in Gilbert, Arizona, on the other side of Phoenix and an hour’s drive from us.  Jill is a designer for a Scottsdale architecture firm that does residential plans and has completed part of the requirements for her license.  She loves her job, a good thing, as she often puts in 55+ hours a week trying to keep up with Phoenix’s incessant demand for new housing. Karen teaches general music and band at an elementary school in Mesa.  She and Jon, an engineer at Intel, were married in June 2002.
