Tom's Story
After graduation continued onto college (Santa Ana, UC Riverside, then U of Minnesota- School of Dentistry). Practiced in Riverside doing some private contract work then full time at the county hospital as the head of the department for seventeen years. Got tired of the rat race and moved to southern Oregon. Worked at Pelican Bay State Prison for eleven years, head of the department for about three and a half years. Now retired at the end of 2014.
I own a home in Brookings, Oregon and a ranch in Azalea, Oregon with my wife, Cindy, and grandchild, Holdyn 5 years old. We took him when he was 6 months old and formally adopted him soon...Expand for more
thereafter. He just started kindergarten. We have cattle, chickens, goats, and geese. Grow, cut, rake, and bale hay. Always have something to do, which I prefer than doing nothing.
Recreation wise I still enjoy playing handball (indoor now), fishing (freshwater and salt), hunting (big and small game, upland and waterfowl). Alaska is becoming an annual event in my life. It is a beautiful state with the Kenai peninsula as my new destination. I've fished for salmon, grayling, and halibut. Haven't hunted moose or grizzly there yet, but I have that in my sights.
Life's good. Every day is Saturday and every night is Friday night.
