Joseph's Story
Life:
Well Guys, its been awhile...about thirty-five years. Man,how time flies when your living life!
Lets see, where do I start. Let me start first off by saying that I am sorry to any one that I ever hurt or offended by my insensitivity, or lack of maturity. Especially too Debbie Nichols....For lack of a better word, I was a (JERK)! I hope you can forgive me?
After graduating high school I hung around OC for a couple years. In the spring 1975 I moved too Portland, OR. My sister Cheri and her boyfriend, Mike St Clair,where already living there; along with my best friend, Richard Dean, aka, Joshua Dean. With no real direction or idea where I was going in life, this was an easy decision.
I lived there for two years.While there, I met young woman who was going too Portland State University studying to be a nurse. We fell in love, moved back too California, got married and bought a house. "That's the way I always heard it should be."
But life for me was empty. I had every thing that was "suppose" to make one happy. The house, the cars, a swimming pool, a beautiful wife, children and oh yah,a dog. But something was missing. I kinda felt li...Expand for more
ke Neo, in the movie the "Matrix". There was something missing, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

I was a man with absolutely no hope, who was given a second chance. I was "born again"; I was giving (new life)! I was given hope.
For anyone desiring to know more about this part of my journey, please contact me and I would be more than happy to share it with you.
I'm now living in Arizona. And for 8 or 9 mouths out of the year, it's a beautiful please to live...its just other mouths that are very hot...like 115 degress! But, its a "dry heat"; not bad...
I left California four years ago. I have three kid's; Joe, now living in TX, Chris, who'sliving in CA, and my beautiful daughter Karissa, who now lives with her mother in Colonia, NJ.
I've been in residential construction for thirtys years. For the last 4
years, I've been with Pulte Homes as a building superintendent.
Well, that's enough for now. I hope everyones doing well...
