Favorite School Memory	Prom dance with one of the princesses who I later took out on a date to Disneyland. She was and likely still is a great gal and still a princess. I wish I could remember her name. She was blond like me and very pretty and really a nice person. The next favorite moment was having a cute girl with the school photography dept. ask to take my photo, while I was behind the auto shop washing my 56 Chevy with my shirt off right after school let out. We ended up dating for a bit. She was a very nice person and I wish her the best. I won't say her name so as to embarrass her. Of course having a swimmer/surfer/polo player's 6 pack didn't hurt. I was young and in great shape back then. The big pecks didn't hurt either. Sometimes I laugh about my youth. It sometimes seem to have played out like a National Geographic special. I still swim 3K meters every morning M-F and lift weights i...(read more)
About Me	I lived in Germany for a year right after leaving Cypress, traveled extensively all over Europe. I was appointed by the Oregon Governor to serve as a Boundary Commissioner, I was the youngest to ever serve in that quasi-judicial capacity. I was in my late 20's. I served on Springfield, Oregon's Budget committee and Appropriations committee. i attended a college for my commercial pilot's license. I have flown float planes, biplanes for aerobatics, helicopters and a lot of high performance single engine aircraft. I got my PADI or professional scuba license. And I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. I hope to see how some people I interacted with a lot have done over the years. The number says I'm "old" but I still feel like I did in my 20's. "Piss and vinegar" with a lot of love given to and from friends and family. My oldest son has his undergrad degrees from U. of Alaska Anchorage in French and another degree in English. He finished his Master's at UCSD. He is fluent in French and Chinese. He lived in both countries for a year each. His wife, whom he met in the UCSD program has her Master's as well. My number 2 son is married with a home in Hawaii. They have 2 girls born in 2004 and 2006. He is in the US Army stationed in Iraq right now, 2010. He is a Kaiawa Scout chopper pilot. He flies nap of the earth missions full tilt. He can hide behind a mountain and see over the top with the radar dome that sits atop the main rotor/blades. My number 3 son is turning 21 in Jan 2011. He lives in England with his British girlfriend. My number 4 son is 13 1/2 and about to start 8th grade. He is as big as I was, height and weight my senior year. He was born in Alaska and apparently the water from our private well seems to agree with him. Maybe it's eating Black Bear, Moose, Caribou and fish that has no preservatives that is growing them all. Every one of my kids is bigger than me and I am 5'10", not all that short. My wife was an athelete as well. She was 2nd in the State of Oregon in the 800m. She had numerous school and district records that have likely fallen to the new breed we have brought fourth. It is funny that I am taller, stronger and faster than my dad was at similar ages and he was the same for his father and now m...(read more)
