After she graduated, we moved to Houston, TX where the jobs were. Wanted to get some experience and move back to Oregon- HA! Spent 16 long hot humid years there, had daughter #1 in '87 and daughter #2 in 89. Became a Marketing Education Instructor and life was rocking and rolling along. Joanne's career with the oil industry took off and we pulled up stakes for a move to Findlay, OH in '99. Nice place, Ohio, started working on an older home updating it and doing the remodel thing. Started working on a new teaching license. 18 months later we got transferred again to St. Paul, Minnesota where Joanne was a Controller at a small oil refinery.

Did a cost/benefit analysis and it is not worth it. Played substitute teacher and part-time community college instructor.
