30 Years! WOW!

After graduation I moved to northern CA (Willow Creek) to work with my Mom & Dad at their newspaper. I married Shelley Wolfsberger and returned to southern California. We had two wonderful kids - Melanie and Brandon. Shelley and I were married for 10 years .

Melanie is engaged to be married next summer (Gerry) a marine who will be leaving shortly to return to Iraq. Brandon attended mechanic school in Phoenix, AZ and is about to return home to southern CA..

After returning to southern CA I worked as a LA Times distrubutor for 15 years.

I married Mardette in 1989 and we had a daughter (Geena) in 1995.  We own a wholesale printing plant that employs 45 people and keeps us very busy. 

We lived in Oceanside for 14 years and just recently moved out to the country - Vista. We love the space, quietness and are getting used to tending to our 8 laying hens. I would have to describe myself as an AVID golfer!

I enclosed a picture of my parents and sister Jeannine whom alot of you knew.  Mom and Dad are still in northern CA running the paper and loving life.  Jeannine is an RN in Pasadena happily married with 3 grown children.

Looking over the last 30 years - I would have to say that everything happens for a reason and LIFE IS GOOD!
