Gary's Story
Life
Hi to my old, oh boy, do I mean old but Hell bent for leather, class mates of 1957...a good year for Mt. View and early California wine!
If you want to get to the short of it, I live on beautiful Vashon Island, WA., with my wife Nancy. Though she's not the mother of my two children, she has been my significant other for over 20 years. I got my BS at Arizona State University in Engineering Sience which lead me to a 25 year career in semiconductors...Silcone Valley! While there, I lived mostly in Saratoga where I started a small winery in 1969 (Sipple's Vineyard) and produced Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc until divorce papers were served in 1981. Went crazy for a few years, but stayed out of jail! Met Nancy, then got the hell out of Dodge and moved to beautiful Vashon Island, Washington. My politics leans mostly to conservative which is tough sledding up here. ...Expand for more
Vashon Island is so liberal it went from blue to purple! I'm active in my community i.e. Rotary, Health Center Board, Point Robinson Lighthouse Keepers Board, and Vashon Parks District Board. When you live on an island, you need to roll over and play dead not to get involved! I'm supposed to be retired, but I'm not...well, not totally not! I have a small consulting business in Seattle (Off Island Assoc.) specializing in product marketing for the hi-rise construction industry...clients like Dow Corning, 3M, Sika, Bostik, etc...no big deal but they keep me out of the bread line!...and I like bread!
With all seriousness, I would love hearing from you. Though my health is still good, knock on wood, I do miss my youth like I trust most people do at our age. So, give me a shout and let's share the past of which I've forgotten most of!
Warm Regards
