Ben's Story
Life
Completed flight school in 1967, married in 1970 to my present wife (32yrs.!!) We have four grown children. My eldest son (29) is a sports writer for the Kalamazoo paper, my 26 yr. old daughter is married to an Army Captain, and is living in Germany. We also have twin 23 year old sons, one is a pilot and the other is a substitute teacher.
My wife retired after 31 years as a special ed. teacher this past June. I am a Boeing 737 Captain for a small airline, and will retire from flying in 3 more years.
We have lived in the same house that I had built in 1978 in a golf course community in southern Michigan, and have a small summer cottage near Lake Michigan and a log hunting cabin in Northern Michigan which I built myself.
Pretty boring really, but we enjoy a very laid-back country lifestyle and would like to hear from some of my old classmates and catch up.

r involuntary institutional commitments, so there!!!!!
UPDATE: It is with profound sadness that I post that my loving wife of 40yrs., Barbara passed away (August 2010) after a courageous battle with cancer. She was a truly remarkable lady, dedicated special ed teacher, mother, grandmother and soulmate. She left a hole in the lives of many people that can never be filled.
I am retired from flying now and spend most of the year living in Michigan, but winter for 31/2 months in Arizona. Proud Grandpa to 5 grand kids (3 girls, 2 boys, and another on the way!!!) Also have a new buddy, Bailey, my 10 mo. old Golden Retriever!!!
