AFTER HIGH SCHOOL I SERVED TWO YEARS IN THE ARMY. I ATTENDED SOUTHERN STATE COLLEGE AND GRADUATED WITH A MAJOR IN BIOLOGY AND MINORS IN PSYCHOLOGY AND MATH IN 1963.  SINCE THEN I HAVE TAUGHT BIOLOGY AND SCIENCE AT RAYMOND AND SIOUX FALLS O'GORMAN HIGH SCHOOLS,RETIRED FROM JOHN MORREL & CO. AFTER 27 YEARS. AT MORRELS I HAD 8 YEARS IN PURCHASING AND SALES AND 19 YEARS IN PORK MANAGEMENT WHERE I WAS MANAGER OF PORK EXPORTS AND CORPORATE MANGER OF BONELESS PORK AND EXPORTS.SINCE THEN I HAVE SPENT ELEVEN + YEARS IN THE COUNTER TOPS BIZ.

THERE WERE MANY GOOD TIMES AT RHS. ONE WAS THE TIME WE GOT TO SET IN THE ASSEMBLY ROOM AND LISTEN TO THE WORLD SERIES. ESPECIALLY WHEN DON LARSON OF THE YANKEES PITCHED A PERFECT GAME IN 1956. ALSO THE TIMES WE WERE FORCED TO MISS SCHOOL AND GO TO NEARBY TOWNS AND SOLICIT FOR PRIZES FOR THE ANNUAL CARNIVAL. THEN THERE WAS THE TIME WHEN THE  OPEN WINDOW WITH THE " GREAT SUCKTION" REALLY SUCKED AND LET SMOKE BACK INTO THE TYPEING ROOM.  PLEASE EXCUSE MY SPELLING AS MUCH OF OUR TIME IN MRS ANDERSON'S CLASSES WAS SPENT DICUSSING POLITICS.

I DON'T GET BACK TO RELIANCE VERY OFTEN EXCEPT TO VIST CEMETERY.

LAS VEGAS, THE ROCKIES AND GRAND TETONS AND THE MISSOURI RIVER AT CHAMBERLAIN AND PIERRE.

THE STATES OF SOUTH DAKOTA AS WELL AS THE STATE OF CONFUSION.

MY HOBBIES ARE PHOTOGRAPHY,BOATING. FISHING AND HUNTING.
