Cindy and I lived in Arizona for 14 years after we were married in Aug. 1976. I worked mainly in construction, building homes, some with Doug Johnson. I also had my own construction business for a short time. We moved back to Soda in 1990 and I hired on at Monsanto. I've kept my hands in the construction business, on the side, building and remodeling a couple of homes. Two years ago Cindy and I built our dream home in Bailey Creek. I was going to retire and build and sell homes but the market went south about the time I was planning on making the move but decided to hold a status quo. This will probably surprise many of you but in Jr. high I was on the receiving end of the "Board" of Education and now I'm actually a member of the Board of Education. It has certainly been an interesting ride since leaving Soda High.

I have often said that if I could relive any portion of my life it would be the 4 years of High School. Not so that I could change anything but because it was so much fun! I have some great memories of those years and many of you were a big part of them. Looking forward to seeing those who are coming to the reunion once again. This past spring I was in Boise at the Boys State Basketball tourney and I ran into Ed Thomas. I hadn't seen Ed in over 25 years. Two weeks earlier at the Girls State Basketball I ran into Randy and Patty Freeman.
