Hello all you old Bears!

I was only in Moscow for our senior year and haven't been back very often.  Do look forward to this reunion and will only recognize a few of you from the pictures.   I think we have all gotten a lot better looking though.

Diana and I have lived in the Seattle area for all but one of our 33 years together.  Our children and grandchildren are in the area and we are thankful they are a regular and exciting part of lives.

The Family in our back yard.

Diana retired five years ago and travels with me frequently.  Not being one to do a lot of shopping for cloths, I lived in uniform with a full time career in the Washington State Patrol and retired in 1995 after the last 8 years as the commander of the patrol operations in South Seattle.  The other retirement came from the Army Reserve in 1997 as a Colonel.  My last active duty was in the first gulf war.  What a shame for our young military personnel that we didn't get it right the first time.

I am currently consulting for a world wide engineering firm.  My work has taken Diana and I to all 50 states and several countries.  I do not plan on retiring again soon but will slow down when we move to our retirement home on Hood Canal later this year.

Thanks to Bill for this excellent web site.
