Here I am again!
I was born in Chicago, Illinois in June 15, 1934. Raised on the south side near Lake Michigan. The
"Century of Progress" was the big event of 1934/35. A replica of the Columbus's ship, the Santa Maria was slowly sinking
in the lagoon in back of the Museum of Science and Industry (built for the fair). As kids we thought it was the real
thing!
Once a year we went to Riverview amusement park, for a family reunion. My Grandfather was active in
the janitor's union and all the sodas were free! We had the best times there.

Most of our trips as a child were to Starved Rock, and sometimes Wisconsin Dells
I moved to St. Louis in 1968 and have been married for 28 years!
On our 25th wedding anniversary and to celebrate the Millenium, we spent 28 days touring Australia and New Zealand. That
was the best trip we ever took.
My hobbies are fishing, golfing and miniatures, like making doll houses, or room boxes. Travel tho is what we like
best. This was a very scary helicopter ride, with mountains all around us and landing on ice.. the pilot said he
couldn't land in the summer, because the helicopter would slide off the glacier

We landed on the Franz Joseph Glacier in
New Zealand. They wouldn't let me go to the edge, guess they thought I might fall off!

No Job, Retired and loving it!
Lois and I retired in 1996, Been married 28 years, and have 4 kids, 7 grandchildren.
We went to Australia on our 28th wedding anniversary. Haven't had the urge to go back to work since I left.
