Still have family around Oroville?

No

If you don't live in Oroville, would you ever move back?

We are thinking about it. Like the small town feeling, but right now we love being smack-in-the-middle of California.

What's your story since high school?

I have spent 2 years in the army during the Vietnam war. Then I spent 3 years in collage. Obtain a degree in Industrial Technology. I have worked as a draftsman designing almond and raisin processing plants. Then I became a deputy sheriff in Madera in 1975. Work through the ranks and became a sergent. While responding to a burglary in progress, I was involved in a serious traffic accident. From this accident, I was in a coma for 2 weeks and rehabilation for a year. After returning back to work, it was decided that I should retire. Since the year of 1991, I have been officially retired. Met my fiance at a TBI group that I attend in Fresno. She was injured in a serious motorcycle accident in 2004 that left her with TBI. (traumatic brain injury) Since she has no smell or taste, she depends on her service dog, Sierra, for help. But since I came into the picture, she is deservice-sizing her and service-sizing me - haha.

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

My good friends from my high school days, Earl Chastain and Paul Harder.

What are your interests, hobbies, avocations?

Being involved with a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) group that is held in Fresno.

Being a "on call" babysitting grandpa and enjoying every minute with them.

I volunteer for the Yuba City Sheriff department as a "Volunteer Citizen " which twice a week, sometimes 3, my partner and I will drive around Sutter County and check homes that the owners have requested to have checked while they are gone, abandon vehicles, and just driving around to make sure everything looks ok. I love doing it. Brings back great memories!!!!

Do you travel much?

We have been to Hawaii, New York, Rome, London, Paris, and to China. We have been on many cruises to Alaska, the Caribbean, Bermuda and Mexico. We have drove around the USA and enjoyed every minute of it๐Ÿ’–!!!!!!

What countries have you been to?

While in the service, I was station in Germany. I was able to travel throughout Europe which included France, Switzerland and Amsterdam. Since being with Dianna, we have been going to Phoenix, Arizona alot to see our newest grandson and to see my boys. We've been on a couple of Alaska Cruises, went to Florida (WDW), Bermuda, New York City, London, Rome, and China.
