Who inspires you?

Those who have quietly overcome major life trials and constanly strive to help and serve others. There are so many of these unsung heros all around us.

Friends you miss the most are:

Larry Hess
Larry, along with so many others of you were so great in helping me through high school.

Something you want everyone to remember about you:

Hopefully that of being a good husband and father!

Most exciting thing you've done since we last saw you...

Got married to a wonderful lady at age 43. Adopted 4 boys from Vietnam which necessitated 2 trips to Vietnam. The last 2 boys had some significant medical problems that led to some challenges getting them home and recieving tghe medical care they needed. They all 4 are beautiful happy boys. I love being a dad!

What's your latest passion?

Being a dad, quilting, Japanese, and gardening.
