and the GI Bill I did make it through.
After moving to VA in 1980 my wife and I in1985 started a training company specializing in programs for Native Americans and indian tribes.Although my wife has retired I still continue to work and travel throughout Indian Country.
We have 3 children (all grown) 2 from my first marriage and one from her first marriage. Our son lives close by and has 2 children which are a constant source of joy to us both.
As I look back and remember my days at CHS and my 49 Ford I now realize just how quickly time goes by.I hope all of you have been blessed with as much good fortune as I have been and hope to see you soon.
