Hello all!! After graduation I raced home to Penn Yan, New York and married the love of my life, Sharon . The roller coaster ride started

after our wedding and we traveled back to Nebraska where I had a Teaching Job ( Music ) in Prague, NE. I also coached the girls Volleyball

teams and we did quite well. After a year we moved back to NY Sharon was a little more than homesick and I found out that teaching 

Music was not for me. In July of 1978 we had our amazing daughter Erica and parenthood set in !!

I spent several years working in retail management and in May of 1986 we were blessed with a wonderful son Kyle !! During this time I got

back into my hobby of classic cars and hot rods. Only one at a time House Rule, but some very nice cars I wished I had back !!

In 1987 my career path changed and I became an outside salesmen for S.P.Richards Co. a wholesale office products company! I spent22 years with them, accomplishing many sales goals, awards and trips for my wife and I.   Oh I forgot!! in the summer of 87 I bought a couple of raffle tickets and won a Brand New Ford Mustang!! WOW! Wife and family Surprised and Happy!! (we needed a car ! )

During this time, I coached my sons youth soccer teams and supported my daughters tennis endeavors. 

Also I have had many health issues, but as they say I am my parents son!! I'm a Timex Watch!! 

My Daughter and Son have grown up and have made us proud!! Erica is an administrator at our local school, married and has 2 wonderful BOYS!

age 4 and 3!! Kyle is a special ed teacher locally and Head Women's Soccer Coach at Corning Community College! Married and has a beautiful little boy age 2 and another on the way!! Sharon retired after 33 years of teaching 2 years ago and you guessed it Babysitting 3 wild and crazy grandsons!! Never a dull moment here. I'm retired and work part time for the local CARQUEST Auto Parts store doing sales!! Going to car shows 

attending soccer games and odd jobs around the house. Sharon and I celebrated 45 years of marriage this summer!!

I'm sure there's more, but...……...
