years died in auto crash 8 Sept 2000. This became, at least at this point as far as I know, the bifurcation of my life.
Met a woman at church about my age, Patrice VanOverbeke. We married in June 2002, and I gained 2 daughters and another son. 4 of our 5 kids are now married, and we have 6 grandkids with another due in December 2014. Our youngest son's wedding was in San Antonio, where he works for SW Research Institiute. The wedding was concurrent with the class of '73 40th reunion party. I chose the wedding.
Although I live outside Chicago, but commute to Houston fairly often and was able to attend a Wildcat Wednesday once last year (2013).
