Most of you probably don't remember me - and for good reason. You may have noticed that my "then" photo shows me in an Army uniform. This was shot half way through 10th grade (Jan 1957), when the school allowed me to take off long enough to complete my 6 months active duty requirement for the National Guard.

I moved to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, in 1995 and as of 2009 I am semi-retired. I use video conferencing to stay in touch with my CA office. I have been married twice - now to Ellen. (See our photo with Laura and W at a White House Christmas party in 2007). We have two dogs, Newt and Jeb (see photo album). And o-yeah, I'm a Republican.
