Life
I left Fremont in 1971 for the University of North Texas (Denton TX, near Dallas) where I ran Track and Cross Country and between workouts majored in chemistry. Upon graduation I taught high school sciences in the inner city schools of Dallas and later in a little country high school in Keller TX. I met the love of my life, Laura Prassel, in 1975 and we were married in December, 1978.

ecture and our younger graduated from Texas A&M in 2010 after getting married in Nov 2009. Laura and I are very involved with our friends and church. I retired from Dow after 28 years in May 2009. I then worked as research chemist for a paint company in Iowa. I retired in May, 2021 and we're located to Austin, Texas to be close to family. We are settling in here and enjoying the Tex-Mex, BBQ and Austin music. In January of 2013 Katy and Cody graced us with our first grandchild, a boy Miles followed by a daughter Robyn, in October, 2014. In 2020 they adopted Jonah. Most think their grandkids are exceptional, mine really are.
The days at WHS seem worlds away but I remember them and the friends with great affection. I would love to hear from any of you.
