Gene (Butch)'s Story
Life
I decided to go back to school and am taking classes at Clark College. Both my sons are also attending and that got me to say "why not" so I am doing it, not as hard as i thought it would be after all these years. I am now forcibly retired as I lost my job last year so I started getting my SS and a VA pension for getting injured in the Air Force. My wife works as a caregiver.
Not updated in a long time. Graduated from Clark College with honors in 2013 and in March started having some chest pains and had a stent put in. Sept 2014 had triple bypass surgery and eventually 8 stents but still working. June 2015 oldest son died in a car accident, been a hard 4 years.
My wife is now retired and I am still working part time.
My Kids
My Daughter and son-in -law live in Boise Idaho...Expand for more
and have 2 sons and a daughter. My oldest son lives in Washougal and works at SEH America and has a daughter and a new son. My 19 year old boy graduated from Washougal Hi and is looking for work ( good luck).
As I said above my oldest son died 4 years ago. My daughter and her family now like in Kennewick WA and my youngest son has a great job here in Washougal.
Hobbies
I belong to a model train club and am building my own layout upstairs in my shop. I love to work on old cars and am currently drag racing my GTO and starting a new project to build a '63 Pontiac LeMans gasser to race and show. I sold the 63 LeMans and bought a 1951 Pontiac business coupe to build as gasser. I still race my 74 GTO and recently made some modifications to the engine to increase the power output.
