Hey Don ----- What have you been doing for the last 50 plus years?
Well, I’ve been sort of busy doing life ----

    After I graduated from High School I married Nancy Wilcox and had two children.   Those children had children and then they had children so although the marriage only lasted two years I now have six grandchildren and many great grandchildren.

    I spent 40 plus years in the grocery industry working first for large grocery story chains and then moving into the box store industry.   I was able to move into management and spent time as a state regional manager for one of the chains in Northern California.   I then spent over 10 years at Costco as a buyer for various departments such as candy and wine for the Northwest Region and Alaska.   I worked for another box store company with similar but smaller stores in tropical islands, even getting to travel a bit with that job and then retired in 2006.

    I married Alice in 1981 and we raised a total of 6 children together – 3 from her 1st marriage and 3 of our adopted children from Korea and India.   At the time of my retirement I joined Alice in ministry work as a newly ordained minister.   We work together now focusing on small groups and long term discipleship.   www.AFuture-AHope.org

    Life is good and getting better as I share it with an awesome life partner.   We have opportunity to travel some and do get to visit children and grandchildren all over the western half of the country.   (we have a large family bush!)   We enjoy our time share opportunities in Hawaii and the warm regions during winter since we live in the rainy North West.

    I was always a quiet person in high school but life has opened me up and brought out my love for people and I look forward to seeing many acquaintances at the reunion.
