Joe's Story
Well, nothing much new here. You may remember me as Joe Elsaesser. (long story)l. In case you had questions, queries or posers. After high school I attended Fullerton Jr. College until I was drafted. Four years in the U.S.Navy, married with one son, Matt(now38). Left the Navy, divorced and attended Orange Coast College where I earned an AA in business admin. Remarried, had another son, Adam (now 31) and daughter, Amy (now 27) Attended Cal State Fullerton working on my BA in business until I found my true career at the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.

(A lot of retirees, fishing and artsy-fartsy folks) I guess it's here that the final chapter of my story will be written. In the meantime, I'll be busy fishing, flying, working on my real estate license and tinkering around the house.

It would be impossible in a few paragraphs to describe everything else which occurs in one's life but it has been a real E-Ticket! Anyone who may read this, please feel free to contact me. Love to hear from you.
