Oliver's Story
Life
Hi everyone,
It is really hard for me to believe, that so many years have passed since I graduated in 1972.
I joined the Navy,after graduation, and saw a lot of the world, unfortunately Viet Nam. It seems as if I had a difficult time, after my discharge, feeling any sense of stability in Ohio, so I moved to California, and worked on my college degree. I got married in California, and was divorced four years later.
I relocated to Idaho. I finished my degree at Boise State University,earning a B.A.,in 1983. I entered graduate school, and completed my Master's Degree, in Counseling, in 1985. I worked for a few years as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. I spent nine years working for a private college as a sales recruiter. Up to about three years ago, I was a small business owner...Expand for more

I married my wife in 1984. We have two lovely, beautiful, daughters. Our oldest daughter is working full-time as a sales executive for Hewlett Packard,Boise, Idaho. She is also enrolled, taking business classes at a local college. My youngest daughter will turn 18, in January of 06. This is her senior year, and she can't wait to graduate and get on with her life!
We presently reside about twenty minutes from Boise,Idaho. My wife and I, are avid tennis players! We play in USTA sanctioned leagues. I was fortunate, to have retired almost three years ago. However, I have been busy lately, selling a couple houses, this month, and purchasing some land in the North Georgia mountains, where we plan on living when my wife retires. The view of the"Blue Ridge mountains", is absolutely incredible!
