John's Story
Life
Professionally, things have been good. After getting business degrees from RIT and U of R, I have done a number of interesting things (and seen some bad stuff, too). I am now working for a small telecom firm, NComm, in Salem, NH.
More personally, I have two great boys, Alex (20) and Max (18). They live in Florida with there mother.
I regularly attend church, but get most of my satisfaction participating in the Kairos prison ministry in the State Prison in Concord, NH. This I never saw myself doing, but it is something that I can't not do now. We just finished the fall 2007 weekend and it was pretty amazing. You have to be there :) I will be the weekend leader for Spring 2008.
I am also now the (volunteer) president of the board of the Deering Center, a Christian retreat/family camping center that is being resurrec...Expand for more
ted (pardon the humor. I think I'll be forgiven for that one :)
I have a house sort of in the "sticks" where I see deer and occasionally bear. I have never been into flowers, but the flowerbeds were left with perennials that have been doing a tag team since spring. So, of course I had to plant some Roses (update: my roses always die in the Winter, but I won't give up:). OK, so now I appreciate flowers. I must be getting old.
I have finally done the woodworking I've wanted to since the mid-70's. Now my focus is on woodturning and I took a weekend with one of the "superstar" turners. My younger son is getting pretty good himself. Both have made things.
Finally, I am doing some things with the Fred Thompson presidential campaign. It is interesting getting more of a peek behind the curtin.
My best to everyone,
John
