It has been 50 years and I have never written anything about myself. However there may be a few people who are actually interested. The people I see on a regular basis, this will be old news.
I served 4 years in the Air Force from 1967-1071. I met my wife Karene in 1971 and married 1974. we just recently celebrated our 41 anniversary.
I taught school for 27 years in the Eau Claire School District. Teaching school was a great career choice for me. Socially I am friends with about 30 former students and I stay in contact with many more. It has been great!
We have had a condo in Fort Myers Fl, however decided to put it up for sale and be based out of Eau Claire. My wife and I will for sure be some place warm for January, February and March. Probably will rent in Fort Myers 2016.
My likes are baseball and golf. I have Spring Training Tickets for the Twins and regular season tickets for the Cubs. Hanging out in Wrigleyville and watching the Cubbies with a few beers is what I really like to do. Wrigleyville is a Northside neighborhood of Chicago where Wrigley Field is located and the Cubbies play. On an average I see about 30 games a season. I also have season tickets to the local Northwoods League Team-Eau Claire Express.
As for golf I am still a hacker. I really enjoy Friday golf with Kirk Day, Dick Veleke and Eric Hagen(MaryEdna's hubby). We don't always play good golf, we do drink beer, talk smart and laugh a lot. Having good friends like these guys has been a blessing for me. I thank them all for putting up with me!
I wear an earring in my left ear. A white gold cross or gold cross. Both have diamonds. I am not trying to make a statement. I just like wearing an earring. ( left is right and right is wrong)
I live a fairly simple life style. Give me the beach from time to time, a game of golf or a baseball game and a beer with good friends and my school boy heart is happy.
GO OLD ABES! HUSKIES! AND RAMBLERS! CLASS OF 1965-"FOREVER YOUNG"
