During that 20 years I completed another correspondence course on Digital Electronics from N.R.I. - received my certificate and divorced my first wife.

My father passed away, while working for Safeway in 1976 - I was 35 and it was a real low point in my life. My Mother passed away in 1986 ... second low point.

A good period in my life that has continued to the present came when I met, fell in love and married Reta. We have been together now for 17 years. Have a married daughter and one grandson - who takes up about 1100 square feet of an 1100 sq. foot apartment.

I closed the doors on my business and sold the rental properties around 1989. Reta and I went to work for Rebound Corporation (High Plains Youth Center) in Brush, Colorado as maintenance in charge of electronics monitoring/repair and communication control. Reta was Executive Secretary to both Rebound and High Plains. We eventually left that employment and moved to Tucson, where Reta found employment as an office manager for Tucson Ear-Nose and Throat. I found a position as a Warehouse manager for Sugar Corporation - refurbishing parts for I.B.M.

We left Tucson in 1992 and got our butts back to Colorado (Tucson is too hot) and have been employed as property managers of various companies.
Presently, we are employed as on-site managers of Columbine Mini-Storage located in Littleton, Colorado.

My Sister, Maryjane lives in Nausea, New Hampshire and my Brother lives in Tucson. We travel to New Hampshire every few years. We do not see my brother because his wife is crazy!

I have had many hobbies along the way, but now I mostly like writing programs and working with the computer. Art has always had a fascination for me and I do most of my own graphics for my web page.
