David (Dave)'s Story

Most people im my class don't even remember me. I went to school and then to work. I wish that I could have been able to take part in more school activities but it wasn't meant to be. After graduation I mostly worked, but also took classes nearly term since 1971, in that time I have earned degrees in History, political science, government and Photography. I plan to take a couple of more classes next year. I guess that I am addicted to school. My favorite "spectator sport" is politics, I also love Hockey and Football. I take politics very seriously, I have worked on and for various campaigns, I follow C-Span, Talk Radio(both Consertative and Liberal every day(I am A Reagan conservative). I will NEVER "argue" politics, however I am always available for a spirited discussion as long as you can TALK about it without getting too emotional. Many of my friends today are "bleeding heart libs", we agree to disagree and remain friends I have worked as a free lance Photographer since 1977. Doing commercial, advertising, travelogs, ect. I also do a limited amount of writing. My "work" has made it possible for my wife and I to do a certain amount of travel, but it's hard with the kids. I was married in...Expand for more
Jan. 1976, My wife Ruth and I have 8(YES EIGHT) kids. The oldest 3 are by birth and range from 33 to 26 years old. All are out of college working on their Phd's or Masters Degrees. We were foster parents for many years and adopted 5 special needs children that are now 19, 17, 13, 10 and 8 years old. I don't think that I could ever consider retirement. If I did I would just do the same thing that I do now, but not get paid for it. I consider myself lucky that I can make a living with my hobbies. So why quit? Besides I am still only 21 years old, and will be until I get it right. I guess, really, that none of us can help getting old"er" but if you let yourself get OLD its your own damn fault. My wife and I live in White Lake, Michigan on Tull lake with our 4 youngest children. We also have 4 grandchildren who all live in the area. Our oldest son is working on his Phd in counseling, our daughter is a teacher in Sterling Hgts. and our 26 yr old son Graduated from OU with a communications degree. So far we have been pretty lucky in getting our kids through school. And it looks good for the others too. I look forward to hearing from any of you and seeing if your "stories" are as boring as mine.
