2009 Reunion News: I retired December 2008 after 38 years of giving my time to Potlatch Corp, now Clearwater Paper. I'm still not a grandfather (maybe someday) as our oldest daughter married earlier this year. Our youngest daughter recently graduated with a nursing degree, she now has three degrees to her credit.

Since my wife still works, our plans are to get as much camping in as feasibly possible. We continue to enjoy our vacations to Hawaii, in fact we will be going again one month after this reunion.

Since I was involved in a jet ski accident in May of this year (2009) in our front yard, and fractured a vertabrae and crushed my foot, we have had to stay close to home-no camping trips, but plan to make up for lost time next summer.

2004 Reunion News:

Past highlights: Watched both my daughters graduate from high school and college with honors in both. To watch them succeed in every path they have chosen.

Future Plans: To retire and enjoy the thought of not having to set an alarm clock everyday.
