Lives in Herrin with wife, Joyce & 2 sons, Seth & Ian. Seth just recently was notified he had won a Chancellors scholarship to SIU. Also up for MR. HHS, member of National Honor Society. Ian, 8 yrs recently won the North American Jr. Goose Calling Championship in Moline, IL. Does not use a goose call, calls by mouth. Retired 2 years ago from Herrin Security Bank where I had been employed for 47 years. Started in bookkeeping & had become VP & COO at time of retirement. Lost Bill in 2002 to the ravages of his radiation treatments for cancer.Still love Herrin, am active in the Herrin Chamber of Commerce as a director & officer. Also on many committees for Chamber. Still very good friends with Marilyn Berra, Marilyn Matthews & Julie Griffin. Travel together & get together at least once a month to see how much trouble we can cause(.2012) My grandson Seth is a junior at SIU now will graduate with 2 degrees, one in math & one in physics.

the school year. Last year worked during the summer for the USDA. Ian still competes in goose calling but is now a member of a trap shooting team & travels to Sparta trap shooting complex frequently to compete with other trap shooting teams. Dylan is an active member of the school band. Also participates in football, basketball & soccer on independent teams since his school district no longer provides school teams. Still active in the Herrin Chamber of Commerce but am now a director emeritus. Still on several committees for the Chamber. Miss all the wonderful people I became friends with while I worked for Herrin Security Bank. We have a group of gals that attend Mass on Friday mornings at OLMC & proceed to a restaurant for breakfast. Quite often Father Ken joins us. The first time he had breakfast with us he told us afterward that we had provided him with the next 5 weeks sermons. (Hope that was a good thing)! My wonderful family & friends keep my life full & busy. Keep in contact with many former classmates from 1950 through 1958. So good to reconnect. We truly lived in the greatest time "the fifties". So sad our kids never experienced such a rewarding childhood & wonderful school days.
