William's Story
Life
I've been living in Stockholm, Sweden since 1970 and I've managed to do just about everything my heart desires. Mostly I've been playing music with different bands, sax and steel pans. As of present I'm self employed, construction and carpentry. Feels good to be your own boss! I'm married, run a part time tradeing business with my wife, in our spare time, and we have two boys 24 and 19, real nice guys.
I've been an active seascout leader since 1990 and chairman of our chapter since 1997. I like helping the younger generation by getting them started on the good foot. If we don't take care of them when they are young, who's going to take care of us when we get old. I enjoy life and I'm looking forward to getting much older.
UPDATE:
Life is really full of surprises! I ran into Andrea Balangero July 2005 and it was like being back in 1968, we were always really good friends through thick and thin and the most wonderful thing happened, just before I was leaving, we kissed for the first time in our almost 50 year history and that was all she wrote. In Jan. 2006 I knew what I had to do, I tied up all the unfinished business in Sweden and came back to the States. We got married July 22, 2006 in Vagas with Janice Berg as brides maid and my brother David as my best man. We spent a month in Europe visiting Sweden, Denmark, Italy, England and France. We've ta...Expand for more
ken up residence in Vancouver, Washington and this is where I think we'll spend the rest of our lives. Just when you think you have everything set, life throws you a curved ball right out of left field and turns everything upside down. Our life together is very good and I know it took us a long time to get together but better late than never!
UPDATE:
It is now January 2011 and Andrea and I have been living in a beautiful house along side the Washougal river for about 3 years now. Life is good! We're not in that big of a hurry to do much of anything but enjoy the paradise we're living in. We share our love with 3 dogs, 1 cat and 2 birds and funny enough they get along just fine with each other, I think there's a lesson to be learned there. I do a lot of fishing here and love being in the back yard catching chinook and coho salmon, the freezer is usually full. Right now we have a lot of steelhead coming up stream so life is good.
Another funny twist of life is that I've become a firefighter here and was just promoted to Lt. Prince......... I never had a dream or wish to become a firefighter or a cop, which most little boys dream of, so this really came as a surprise! I love the idea of helping those in need and hope I make a difference to at least just one person here in life.
Well, so much for the update.
Take care, be safe and have a wonderful life!
