Then I spent 3 years at Pars Consulting Engineers, then a couple of years at URS Corporation doing more of the engineering technician type of work. Rachael and I are now "empty nesters" and enjoying life, grandchildren and each other. Throughout all this our family relationships on both sides have been true blessings.
