Along the way: two children -
Jennifer Roshan, born in 1970
Kevin Alexander born in 1976
Raised family on Kauai, Hawaii; Kevin just completed his PhD and is Asst. Professor in Dept of English, Syracuse University, NY; married Martha Villagomez from Ft. Worth, and parents of Paul Santiago (nearly 3) and Peter Kalim (11 months); Jennifer married Charles Chapa while serving at the Baha'i World Centre in Haifa, Israel, lived and worked in London for several years, now living in Houston TX, with their two children - Justin Gregory Kekoa Chapa 6 and Kieron 5 months.
So, I have four grandsons. Gayle and I divorced in 1994, and neither of us has remarried.
I am thinking about retirement but can't decide whether to stay in Hong Kong or move back to Syracuse or Houston. I am well placed at work and they would like me to stay for life! So who knows what the future holds?
Still going strong, healthy, energetic.
