Still working or retired?

Working every day and truly enjoy what I do.
Head, Global Transportation Alcon/Novartis since 2006 (plan to be here until I decide to retire).

1976-2006 in the International/Global Transportation field, domicile most of that time right at D/FW Airport Texas; that airport still feels like my second home.

Grand kids:

23Dec.'13, Joshua Huntington Butler; and still too, a bunch of dogs that my girls have

How old do you feel?

24 yrs old, but with a lot of mileage

School Story:

I was the classic wall flower in H.S; Looking back it was sad that H.S. was to me just the necessary step to move on in life.......but after, off to Austin and the University of Texas!!!!!

Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

Negative; occasionally see college friends but afraid H.S. and Sherman in general have basically only been only "in my rear view mirror" since the early 70's.....sad I guess, and a bit strange, as my parents still live just outside of Sherman and I go up to see them every few months.

States you've lived in:

Texas of course; short period of time in:
Colorado (Suburban Denver), California (Southern California / Orange County), and Arkansas. Have a summer home at Pagosa Lakes (Pagosa Springs) Colorado. I now suspect that since both daughter's careers have taken them to Denver, Colorado my be on the retirement radar screen.

Countries you've visited:

Belgium, Netherlands, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico, Bahamas and Switzerland.
Most multiple times, most business trips...a few with my wife (Sharon) as a vacation/pleasure trip.

Add Spain, Madrid and Barcelona in Sept.'13.
