Life
My Spouse
My spouse, the former Paula Zinke, and I were in the same class my last two years of high school and we both graduated in 1957 from Fern Creek High School outside Louisville KY. During college our families and we started attending the same church, St Andrew UCC on Brown's Ln in Louisville Ky.
Although we went to high school together, we really didn't date until I asked her to go to a college age activity at the church. We continued to date, eventually I proposed, she accepted, and we were married in 1962.
My Pets
Over the years we have had a number of dogs. However, we like to travel, and as the length of our travels increased, it was not fair to our dogs for us to be away that much. We then had cats for a number or years. Eventually, we learned that Paula was alergic to cats, so we no longer have any pets.
My Kids
We have two sons, Dave and Bill. Dave was married and divorced and now is living on the east coast of Florida. Our younger son, Bill, and his wife Jodi, have 2 daughters and a son, and live about 40 minutes north of us.
Hobies and Interests
Our first interest is our family, especially our three grandchildren. We also enjoy traveling, and do so a number of weeks a year.
We also enjoy going to the Indianapolis Pops, Civic Theatre, our dinner theatre, Beef and Boards, and other events in the Indianapolis area with friends. We also enjoy eating o...Expand for more
ut, especially with friends.
I also enjoy Country Music and Oldies, and go to a lot of country and oldies shows when we visit Branson and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge.
We have been active in our church and have sung in our choir although we haven't been as active recently with our travels.
Paula likes to Quilt, and goes to several Quilt shows and Quilt Camps a year.
I am a Freemason and have been Master of my Masonic Lodge and past chairman of the Executive Committee of the Indianapolis Scottish Rite, a Masonic body. I also am in the York Rite and several other Masonic bodies. I enjoy the fraternal tie among my Masonic brothers.
Finally, I also enjoy doing things on my computer, including some programming in MS Access. I have developed a number of Access databases that we use in my office and at home. My Lodge also uses a membership database I developed. I also have created several email forums at Yahoogroups for my high school alumni, my lodge and a number of other groups.
School
I stated school at Nanny Lee Frasier Grade School in Louisville KY, then moved to Atlanta GA at the end of the first grade where I went to Mary Lyn Grade School. I attended school in Atlanta through the 9th grade, which was at William A Bass High School, and then moved back to Louisville. I went to Atherton High School at their old address for one year, then to Fern Creek High School my last two years. Since I grew up in Atlanta I have been trying to reach my friends from back them, but have not been real successful.
Workplace
I have been a State Farm Insurance Agent since July 1, 1972. Over these years there have been many challenges and changes. I have good staff and good State Farm representatives to work with.
