I have spent most of my life traveling. I've lived in India for 12 years and Africa for 5. My wife and I recently came back from a teaching gig in the Himalayan Mountains at a private boarding school. I went to the University of Nebraska and also got my degree in Languages at the Denver ESL (English as a second language) school. I met and married Bobette Miller in 1998 while we were living in in Berkeley, Ca and we have been together for 23 years. She is also a teacher (History). We have lived in Sedona, Arizona for many years and San Diego, Ca. We now live in an older neighborhood is South Denver.

School Story

High School was a blur, really because my Dad died in 1972...but I do remember the senior dip (where our lockers were) and the school musical (West Side Story). Working on the school newspaper and running for student council. When they handed out the awards for accomplishment before graduation at an assembly the vice principle gave me an award for Theater and called me up to the stage announcing "Richard" had won. Never forgot that.

Ken, we were friends in High School yes? I know we were friends in Jr. High. You lived on 20th street and we used to hang out at your house after school. I always wondered what happened to you. It's good to hear you are well and that you've had an interesting life! I second what you have said about Richard. I remember him from High School as being funny, always with a quick wit and a warm smile. I heard about his death after School and I was shocked and saddened. So much hate in the world. So much intolerance. Hey, I too, spent a few years on a communal farm in Oregon in the 90's. Great expereince.

Gary was my cloest friend (we grew up on the same street a few houses away). We shared interests and hobbies and I was the Godfather to his kids. Gary was the sweetest man I've ever known. He was also generous to a fault. I loved this man and his family (wife Denise and twins Jean and Janet). Gary worked his whole life at the same factory his Father had worked (Brunning) and died from an ambulism in his leg that went to his heart. His parents, George and Ester, have since passed away but he is survived by his sister Vicki. Gary was adopted and that was a strong theme in his life...to know where he came from and where he was going.
