Life has been good. After MHHS, I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps. Shortly thereafter, I enrolled at Ventura JC where I met Priscilla. We were married in Ojai, California, had our first son, Glenn. We then relocated to Chico, enrolling at CSU, and had our second son. BS there and a job offer brought us to Eugene, Oregon where I worked for several years for the US Geological Survey - Water Resources Division. Another job opportunity came about so we moved again, this time to Newcastle, Wyoming where I worked as an Environmental Scientist. Then in the early ‘80s, I decided take on some graduate work at Washington State University. After graduation, an opportunity then came about with the civilian side of the USAF in San Francisco and we moved yet again. After a quick relocation to Boise in 1990, we returned to SF and signed on to the EPA. Priscilla and I both enjoyed The City and we ended up retiring from the EPA. After retirement stays in Wyoming, Montana, and Oregon, we’ve finally ended up in Fair Oaks, CA. where I expect we’ll be for the duration.

What are you doing to keep young and active?

Thinking young, working on becoming old. Staying involved with lots of genetic genealogy is maintaining my sanity.

It's been an up and down year for our family. The loss of Priscilla in October was heartbreaking and remains so to this day. Please cherish every moment you have with your loved ones.

Information in the thread here sounds exactly like the Sharon I knew back at MHHS. She an I dated briefly during our Senior year but I lost contact with here when I departed Mountain Home.  She was, indeed, full of life.  Rest well my friend.

How could anyone ever forget Mr. Smallwood?  Dissecting his frogs and then capturing the essence of "your creature" by carefully drawing him down to the minute detail actually began my lifelong interest in science.  Thank you Mr. Smallwood for your guidance.
