Sterling L's Story
Life
I have been married 3 times and I have two grown children, Christina and Laurie, from my first marriage to Peggy T. After living and moving around the midwest up to my midlife, I was transfered to Washington state in 1991. I have recently moved from Vancouver, WA to Henderson, NV (Las Vegas area) as of 6/2007. Currently, I reside with my wife, Barbara and our two cats. I still work as Estate & Financial Planner in my own consulting business as well as for the non-profit sector. My life centers around Barbara, work, our children and Barb's grandsons (4).
School
High School Freshman & part of Sophmore years at Grayslake were great years as football & basketball trainer then later going out for baseball. I always felt that class of 71 Grayslake sport teams were a great group.I have also enjoyed and appreciated the friends and memories made while attending Grayslake.
During Sophmore year transferred to Warren and happiest times spent with Paul T. and Steve W.and other friends...as well as hanging out during senior year in counselors office with Robin W.
I had crush on Cheryl L. during late junior year and then as seni...Expand for more
or crush on Peggy T. (who I married in 1972).
College
College was not of interest to me at first, however, Peggy T., did help in motivating me to change and I spent 11 years ( 4 full time and 7 part-time nights while working) getting my BS in Chemistry with minors in math, physic, and economics. While living/working as a research Chemist in Louisville, KY, I completed graduate level courses in Statistics and Business. I have several continuing education credits/units in Adv. Management, Food Processing, Statistics, Insurance & Securities License, and Certification in Planned Giving through William & Mary College.
Workplace
I worked several jobs while going through college getting my BS Chem degree. Afterwards, I spent about 10 years as Research Chemist/Quality Engineer in the food packaging area traveling extensively throughout the US, Europe and Japan. In the mid 90's changed career to insurance/securities which allowed me to progress to being an Estate & Financial Planner.
Military
I spent fall 1971 at MCRD, Marine Corp Boot camp, in San Diego, CA then went to jet electrician school in Jacksonville, Fl in spring, 1972.
