ly throughout the western US and some of the NE. Tried the 'almost retired' lifestyle in Tucson in '05, but moved back to PNW area... I like big mountains, big trees and big water better than sand and cacti. Married my HS Sweetheart (Vicki Newton) in 2007; we live in Lynden, WA, a little Dutch farming town (raspberry, strawberry and blueberry farms, and about 60,000 lactating cows) just south of the BC border. Between us we have 15 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. My hobbies include classic cars & hot rods. Over ther years I've enjoyed having a '29 Ford Model A coupe (hot rod), '52 Chevy 2 door sedan (was a Chauffeur's personal car for 45 years, 32k miles), current ride is a '42 Ford Tudor sedan (original flathead V8, 57k miles). Would like to hear from classmates and old friends... Its been a fun ride!
