ng with a friend who had a sailboat. I got married in 1979 and moved to Sudbury, Massachusetts in 1985 to work for Raytheon. We divorced in 1993. We have two daughters who have since graduated from UMASS with Business and Finance degrees. My oldest daughter, Tess (26), is managing an Enterprise Rent-a-Car office in Westborough, MA. My youngest daughter, Christen (24) graduated last spring and moved with me to Phoenix in January of this year (2009) for my semi-retirement. I am getting a bookkeeping business started with Christen and she will use it to get her CPA and advance the business to Accounting and Financial Services. I may try to do some engineering down here when the economy picks up. I don't play golf but if there ever was a place to do it this is it. Christen and I are living in Tempe until she can get out on her own.
