I guess I can brag about my kids. Oldest is 38, he is career Army and is some kind of a Sargent, I think is in about 18 years now. Second son is 33 and is a management consultant and teaches at UCLA. Only daughter is 32,she is a VP with Wells Fargo Bank. Youngest son is 22 and made me a grandfather 3 years ago,he installs cell phone towers. My 2nd wife is a lawyer,we were married in 1988. She will not be retiring when I do as she is several years younger than me so she gets to keep working, her and her brother have their own law firm. She will reduce her work schedule in about 3- years. Our hobbies are travel, golf, cruising w/our 73 Corvette, spending time at our second home in San Clemente by the beach . I was married to my 1st wife for 20 years, 1962-1982 and we just got burned out, like a lot of others, too much and to young. I married Layne in 1988 and she is also my best friend. My kids have become her kids. Thats all the bragging I can do. Keep in Touch.

OCTOBER, 2002 UPDATE

"Here is a current pic of Layne and self for the class of "60" file. Not much new here except we just came back from a great trip to Canada. We spent 10 days in Kelowna which is about 4 hours east of Vancouver. Great scenery, great golf, great winerys, great food and the Canadians give you a $1.50 for your $1.00 What more could a guy ask for?
Counting down to retirement 73 days, 15hrs, 38min... Tom Bousman, Paul Mize and I are planning a golf meet later this month.
Best regards to all."
