| About me?
Well lets see I retired on Sept 26,1997 at age 44 from Genesee County -
Div of Water & Waste Services, as a Treatment Plant Operator, and as
a Vice Chairperson, and Chief Steward of A.F.S.C.M.E. -Local 1918-chapter
O. I neogotiated 6 union contacts over the years, and loved doing
that. I like to say I negotiated my self into retirement!
Married my high school sweetheart "Linda" in 1972 we were both 18, had 4 sons, but have lost 2,one at birth, and a 14 year old son named Nathan in 1991 along with his 13 year old friend (Jason) as they were hit and killed while riding bikes by a hit and run drunk driver who was caught later and served 3 years in prison. My hobbies are Genealogy, and helping keep it free, and mostly helping others find things. I have 3 grandkids I LOVE and Spoil Jodi 10, Bryan 4, and Jakob 3. Being a Grandpa is the best!!! I like to cook, and do so often. I did have a part time job at the local Lumberyard/Ace Harware, but it is being sold and business is slow so I was laid off. Looking for some thing else. We love to travel and to visit our son where the Coast Guard has stationed him. My main passion was watching my son Trevor play football, I have seen every game since 8th grade, and now that this is his senior year am really going to miss it! Hoping he can play in college. He made 1st team defense all conference and all area, plus honorable mention in the Sagianw News. Thats about all I guess. |

My son Jason and Family are now stationed at
Sault Ste. Marie Michigan. Jason has taken a break from his Art work to
concentrate on career and family for now, however he does do some art work for
some paying customers. The picture is of his hand tied (lost art I am told
), and hand painted paddles and other works at the Lighthouse Festival last
year. |
