Fifty one years has been long but sometimes feels short. Just a quick update of my life the last 51 years.

Married to my wife Becky for 36 years. We have one son Colin, two daughters Carrie and Caitlyn. Retired from my career with USDA as a soil conservationist in January 2013 (30 years).  Worked several part-time jobs (newspaper dispatcher, grocery store stocker, pro ski patroller, aquatic invasive species inspector, ag water quality evaluator, paraeducator at local high school. When I turned 66 then I retired completely. Now busy building our new home on North Lake Oscar near Kensington, Minnesota. Also busy being a grandpa to four grandsons: Cade 12, Lauchlin 11, MicKenlee 8, and Beckett 8.

Bought a motorhome so we have done a little traveling. Will be driving to Chattanooga this fall to visit daughter and three grandsons at their new home in Tennessee (Father is in army and had a recent promotion and transfer).

Sorry I can’t make our reunion. We are in the middle of selling our house in Alexandria and need to be here for inspection and purchase agreement. Hopefully we can close in October.
