Patrick's Story
38 years in 20050 characters or less. O.K., here goes:
After DHS went to NIU for four and a half years and graduated with a B.S. in computer science. Worked in Elmhurst a while, then at Ideal Industries in Sycamore. Also got married and divorced during that time.
While at Ideal I heard back from the boss from Elmhurst who was then in San Francisco and ask if I would like to come to work for him there. Moved to San Francisco with who would eventually be my second wife. Worked and played in San Francisco for a few years, then got a job in Alameda. Bought a house in San Leandro.
Then my wife and I got the hair-brained idea to quit our cushy, high-paying jobs, sell the house and move to Coarsegold, CA ...Expand for more
and buy a Hardware Store. Ran Busse's Ace Hardware for nearly 10 years till the economy went off the rails and we lost the business. Also got divorced and remarried to my current wife Deniece during that time.
I am now working at the local Indian casino, Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino as Security Officer. Deniece has a Farmers Insurance business.
I never had any kids of my own. Deniece has five; two here in Coarsegold and the other three in the Phoenix area.
We have a cat named Hummer, travel when we can and enjoy the beautiful area where we live when we can't.
If you're looking for Coarsegold on the map, it's in the Sierra Nevada foothills about midway between Fresno and Yosemite National Park.
