Richard Ross

Spouse:  Elaine

Kids: We have two children:

     Diedre lives in Pocatello and
     David lives in Boise.

David and Jennifer have a son, Dawson, born on July 4, 2002.

I have retired from Syngenta, formerly known as Ciba-Geigy/Novartis, after 30 years of service. We are looking forward to moving to Tucson, AZ later this year (2004) to be nearer our grandson and other family members. Our new address will be 37481 S. Desert Sun Dr., Tucson, AZ 85739.

Elaine is a hand spinner and weaver and is currently weaving towels, rugs, drapes, etc for our new house. I am building some furniture for our new house and for friends who are weavers and hand spinners. We have enjoyed our 5 acres and assortment of animals: horses, miniature donkeys, llama, alpaca, miniature horse and variety of angora goats and fleece sheep. We are, however, looking forward to moving to a warmer/drier climate with less snow and particularly ice.
