My occupation(s)and/or accomplishments:
After teaching at Ricker Junior High In Buena Vista for one year after my graduation from Saginaw Valley in 1969, I took a "temporary" job with General Motors. I retired from GM in 2004 after 34 years. I spent my first eight years as an hourly machine operator, the rest in various salaried positions, Dept. Supervisor, Quality Systems Coordinator, Manufacturing Engineer, Maintenance Reliability Engineer (my last assignment) and even a couple of years in Plant Security during the downturn in the late 70's and early 80's.
I've also been active in our congregation at Zion Lutheran Church in Beaver Township in Northern Bay County. I'm currently the Vice-Chairman of the congregation (Chairman in the 2nd year of the term) for the third time and have served as Elder, Chairman of the Board of Christian Education, Sunday School Superintendent, Stephen Ministry Leader, and Building Committee Co-Chair. I've also had the opportunity to lead several Bible classes and taught Confirmation Class one year when we were temporarily down to one Pastor.
