Bill Pofahl:  

After graduating from high school, I attended Colorado State University for 2 years, then transferred to Northern Arizona University. Married Laurie WALLER (class of '70) in 1971. We loved Flagstaff! I completed my B.S. there, then worked for Babbitt Bros Wholesale Division for 2 years and decided I didn't want to do that the rest of my life. Did 2 years of graduate work in mycology (fungi just wasn't that much fun - decided I didn't want to do that the rest of my life), then got into the dental hygiene program at NAU, graduating with a 2nd B.S. in 1979. Had children Ehren, Geoff, & Jennie while at NAU; Ryan, Erich, Scott & Rob were born in Oregon, where I practiced dental hygiene for 10 years. I had my mid-life crisis at about age 37 when I decided I didn't want to be a dental hygienist the rest of my life. We moved to WA in late 1989 and I went to work for the state of WA as a (child) support enforcement officer (SEO) on January 2, 1990. I'm still there as a supervisor and Laurie works in the same office, also as a SEO - we plan to retire in 2016 (assuming the current president doesn't take us down to ruin).. While we lived in Oregon and later in WA, I served 21 years in the Coast Guard Reserve (1981-2002)...Expand for more
