My sweet wife Layla and I have 7 children and 17 grandchildren of whom we are very proud. Everything else is just other stuff. I did Have a novel in 2019, but I pulled it back for rewrite, it should be back out in 2022. Last month I pubia children's chapter book on Amazon. I am hoping to have sales in the hundreds by the 100 year reunion.

Comments from 2019:

I am making an update because I finally do have something published. My novel Bridging Gaps went live on Amazon today. It is in the clean romance genre and I believe a pleasant little story.
Updating my last entry my beloved wife and I have been married forty-six years now. We have the same seven children but now have sixteen grandchildren. The oldest graduated college this year, the youngest two are just starting to walk. I am semi retired and have lost a couple of pounds.

Comments from 2001:

After thirty years I have grown as a person, in fact ten more pounds and I will have grown into almost two people. I have seven children, three grandchildren, and have been married for twenty-eight years to the same wonderful wife and sweetheart.

I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the US Army Reserve in 1998. Although dedicated to leisure as a concept, I have had forty-five different jobs since leaving OHS; so I have not spent a great deal of time on leisure. I currently work for Washington Mutual Bank in the benefits department.

I have not achieved fame, fortune, power or influence in the thirty years since OHS, but have achieved happiness and a perspective that tells me happiness is a good accomplishment in itself.

In my spare time I have written a screenplay, numerous short stories and a novel. I have also written hundreds of checks but they haven’t been published either.

I look forward to seeing people on the Friday night meeting but will be unavailable for anything on Saturday. I welcome email and occasionally read it.
