History since graduation:
I graduated from Southeast Missouri University in 1977 & began working for Goodyear. Spent 16 years with them from Poplar Bluff MO, Cape Giradeau MO, St. Louis, Akron Ohio, back to St. Louis then to Denver CO. Married Debbie in 1983, had our 1st son Daniel while in Ohio and 2nd son Stephen in St. Louis. Debbie is in elementary eductation and currently is the Librarian at a local elementary school. Daniel is due to graduate in 2009 from Missouri State University in Springfield MO while his brother is a Freshman at the same university. Both intend to graduate with a business degree. My current employment is with Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers in St. Louis where we operate 38 retail tire and automotive centers. I fool around with the advertising & marketing plans. We are members of Lord of Life Lutheran Church. Debbie & I celebrated our 25th anniversary in Germany visiting our son, Daniel who was studying...we think. That may have been our last "complete" family vacation. It was good to stomp around in the footpaths of Martin Luther in Wittenberg. I continue to thank Randy Muench and Doug Ross for introducing me to that game of golf so many years ago. It will take that many years and more to perfect the game and if the Lord allows me.....I intend to keep after it. There you have it 36 years in less than 500 words and the end of my story.
