About Me | Originally, born (St. Joe's) into a family of six (my baby brother Bill didn't arrive for another 18 months), and raised at 4060 N Glenway Ct, (N 109th St), Wauwatosa, WI. Started my schooling at Webster Elementary, just up the road from my house. My friends were Ronnie and Joey Seidl, Randy Mahnke, Ricky Erickson, Dick Nalbert, Jeff White, John Amport, and Kenny Klein. My girlfriend was Kim Carlson. The Fall of 3rd grade, my Mom and Dad took the 7 of us to live in a 'mansion' somewhere else. The house (2000 Forest St, Wauwatosa, WI) was four or five times bigger than the house we had lived in. Four bedrooms, and a library! All the door handles were cut glass, and the attic was as big as the whole 1st and 2nd floor!! The glass in all of the windows had runs in it. The trees were monstrous, and they'd creak and groan whenever the wind blew. I started school at Lincoln Elementary, and was welcomed warmly by Ms. Stehr and my classmates. I loved her. Two weeks after I started attending my new school, JFK was murdered. I thought the world might end. But, things started to become routine; then Cub Scouts, playing with my friends Ted Klumb, Chris Mortenson, Tim Ells, Lee Harris, Roger Ream and Curt Milliman. Boy Scouts, music lessons, sailing lessons at South Shore YC summers, and trips to Winnetka by train to visit my Uncle Bill and Aunt Jeanne and Cousin David Glye took up my time. Sundays and Holidays at my Grandmothers', aunts' and uncles'. I had a truly great childhood. (BONUS: started driving when muscle cars were all almost new used cars!) Played drums and toured Europe with "Up With People". After graduating from Tosa West, another story for later, I went to work, starting at Kearney & Trecker, and Mutual and United of Omaha while playing drums in local Top 40 bands. Attended classes part-time at Marquette, UW-Milwaukee, Union College and Cardinal Stritch University. I moved my business to Arizona in 2003, and...(read more) |
