Kurt's Story
Life
It's been a long and winding road for me after graduation in 1969.
I was married in 1972, a marriage that lasted 15 years and yeilded 2 great children. In 76 my daughter Amanda was born and in 79 my son Ben arrived. I went to college off and on for several years mainly at BIOLA studying Bible to prepare for the ministry. That was not to be. I began my current career in Kitchen Design in 86 and now work for Signature Design Center in Anaheim.
I never thought that I'd marry again, but while playing in a little coffee bar in La Mirada near my home (I've been playing this gig every Tues nite since 92) I met Melissa, my bride of almost 9 years. I play guitar and sing (worship music) sometimes with a few others but usually solo.
My daughter is now married and lives with her husband in So. Lake Tahoe, he's the pastor of the Lutheran Church there. They have adopted 2 baby boys, Their names are Rowan Wolfe & Ezra Hawk Martyn my first grandbabies!
Ben is still single and working with an audio visual production team driving all over the US setting up and tearing down equipment.
I've begun a new job doing the same thing I did at the EXPO Design center after nearly a year of...Expand for more
unemployment.
My musical endeavors have expanded to inlude a Saturday morning gig ay Amy's Cafe in La Mirada playing and singing Beatles songs for 3hrs each week from 10:00am to 1:00pm. I have layed claim to the title of the 5,833rd Beatle. There has been talk for years as to who is the 5th Beatle (Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, or maybe Mal Evans) Some call their producer George Martin the 6th Beatle. Mark Hudson claims to be the 9th Beatle. So I'm the 5,833rd Beatle, as far as I know no one has claimed that title but me.
It's been nearly 10 years since I wrote that bit above. 18 years with my wife Melissa now, My daughter, her husband and the 2 grandsons (in their teens now) live in Hawaii. Where Joel is the pastor of a Lutheran Church on Maui. My son works with Disney as a rigger (ropes and pulleys / plugs and wires...his favorite toys as a kid)
Java Co. and Amy's café are now closed, I still play in the worship band at church, From time to time I get to play with a few friend as the Beatles cover band "Looking for Ringo".
The first time we were asked to play we had no drummer and so the name.
Reunion for 50years is coming up, Maybe we'll see each other then!
