Gary's Story
Life
Since high school graduation in 1972, I've spent one year living at home and attending good ole El Camino College in Torrance and part-time at Biola College in La Mirada. In 1974 I transferred to Northwest Christian College in Eugene, OR, where I majored in Christian Education, graduated in 1976, and met my wife Sue Cosgrave of Fresno, CA. We were married just a month after graduation, had three wonderful children - Lyle, 1980 in Santa Ana, CA, Eric, born in 1985 in Eugene, OR, and Emily, 1987 in Pasadena, CA. I've basically had three careers - youth ministry (1974-1981), college admissions (1981 - 1991) and then teaching/administration (1991 - present) Sue and I split up in 1999 and I moved back to Oreg...Expand for more
on where I'm a professor of Education and directed the Master of Education program at George Fox University (2000-2003) and now direct the doctor of education program. My two sons were with me in Newberg, Lyle graduating from George Fox in December 2002, and Eric graduating from Newberg High School in 2003. Lyle now age 26 lives in Portland, OR and Eric is on target to graduate from Westmont College in May 2007 and plans to continue working at The Wine Cask Restaurant afterwards. Daughter Emily is a sophomore at Whitworth College in Spokane, WA.
The best news is that in 2002 I remarried, Melissa Minor of Greeley, CO. She moved to Oregon after our wedding and is a high school math teacher in Beaverton, OR.
