Jon's Story
I graduated in 1973 with a degree in pyshology from the University of Toledo. I retired after working 33 years with the state lottery commission. I've been married for 36 years. I have a son who served 5 years in the U.S. Army and is an air traffic control specialist at Detroit Metro. I have a daughter who is a Kroger store manager in Toledo. My wife is a fourth grade school teacher in Toledo. I have a black labradore and three adorable cats. I'm bi-polar and an agnostic. I have recently become a polical independant. I still love to fish, garden and landscape. Smooth jazz is my music of choice.

I had a few good friends in Springfield back then but time and distance didn't allow us to grow. I have relatives still living in the area but I only see them for family occassions. My mom and dad both passed away while living at Villa Rd. Retirement Village. Until my dad died in Sept. 2011, I drove back to Springfield almost monthly to visit. I always found myself looking into the eyes of everyone I would come across. I was looking for anyone that I could recognize. In the last 32 years, my eyes never shared another pair that I could recognize. I only have one set of green eyes I would love to see again. This may repair a broken heart that has mostly healed since my youth spent in Springfield.
