Dennis's Story

I joined this site a few years ago, and have not done much with it so I thought I would write my "story". I left the coast in 1976 (just too cold there for me) and have lived in Redding, CA since then, although we still visit the coast regularly to visit family and for me to go fishing or clam digging. I got married (for the second time) in 1979 to a girl from McKinleyville, Karen Benton, and we will be celebrating anniversary number 36 in April of 2015. We have been blessed with two wonderful kids. I retired in 2007 from a job in the Municipal Utilities Dept. for the City of Redding, My wife has a food demonstration business and has worked in that field for about 25 years. She is the lady you might see in a grocery store handing out food samples. The primary activity that we do though is a Bible ministry. Karen and I have been Jehovah's Witnesses since 1974, and enjoy helping people to learn what the Bible really teaches. It might really surprise you. Our kids are involved too in this same faith.

vements on our house, hang out with friends or with our kids. I took up winemaking when I retired, it really is a fun hobby. Many of our friends are interested in my hobby too, and always make themselves available for some barrel sampling. Seems like the years just fly by now, I know all of you can relate to that. Time doesn't go by fast, it goes by scary fast. Just when we reach the age when we have a lot of life experience, and hopefully some wisdom too, our bodies are going south. Remember when we were in high school and how we looked, who we dated, what we wore, what car we drove, and who we hung out with was SO SO important??? Well now the emphasis we put on those things seem pretty silly, definitely juvenile. We have learned that good health, a faithful mate, stable and happy family, a purpose in life, and hopefully spirituality in our life are the things that are of great value. OK well that is my story. Nothing earth-shaking for sure, but I am very happy, have been greatly blessed, and hopefully can continue to use my time to help make others happy too.
