June '59

Have three grandsons. Chase and Dylan Brosnan were born in 1999, They play hockey, do lots of Lego, and love to screw around with their grandpas head. They left yesterday after spending a week with us in Florida...we miss them (2-7-09)
Our youngest grandson Ryan Shegich born in 2003 lives too far away in Chicago. He likes painting, soccer, laughing, and playing practical jokes. Ryan is in Kindergarten. This is his third year in a school that speaks predominately French. He now speaks french (at least it sounds french but he could be just putting me on.)

Worked at the Eaton Corporation, Engineering and Research Center for 30+ years. I was Supervisor of a small creative group including photographers, graphic designers and illustrators. Good company, enjoyable career.

Too little homework and too much fun! So many great students and teachers. Memories with Phil Bebb, Steve Stockmeyer, John Mitzel, Jack Roberts, and a few more are in the category of "what happened then will stay then". I do wonder though if teens still go to Bell Creek and drink beer and sing around a campfire...what the heck do they sing...Snoop Dog stuff? We could sing exactly like the Four Freshman and the Hi-Lows.. (Mitzel was the only one that could hit the high parts).
Lunch was my favorite course. I remember wetting the ends of the little straw covers and shooting them at the ceiling and they'd stick.
