Ron's Story

Hi - Since Charter Oak HS, I've had a pretty interesting life. Re Went to my Sac (didn't like it) so to get out of draft joined Air Force where I was trained as A flifgt line Aircraft mechanic. I was a crew chief stationed in ElCentro CA where I works on fighter aircraft. From there went back to My Dad to get aircraft & powerplant G A A ratings. I became interested in Real Estate at this time. So I was fortuanate to work for my step dad who was a lathin/plaster contractor in Baldwin Prentalark CA. Because it was high paying (but didty work) I was able to obtain 5 rental properties by the age of 28. Basically because of the rental income I was receiving I was able to become financially independent. I had a lot of toys (Porsche Etc). Got bored so my ex wife and wanted to see the country. We bought a 18 wheeler new Perebuilt & refrigerated trailer. We trucked as a team for 8 years, we had been in all 50 states & had a great time seeing the country. From their we were able to buy a house in Covina Highlands which had a view of San Gabriel Valley & down town LA. Then got restless & moved to the Tahoe Keys SO Lake Tahoe CA. We had a pretty cool boat dock behind the house that slipped a new 28' Sea Tay Sundancer. Up there got involve with the wealthy hot roddets. So I had a 1927 Pro Street Road...Expand for more
star built by Bill Seats, who built the Snyder brothers cars who owned In/Out Hamburgers. From Tahoe got bored & wanted to get a bigger boat to be able to cruise to Alaska in. So we moved to Anacortes WA. Where we built a showplace overlooking Rosario Straights & The San Juan Islands. We had turned the daylight basement into an 8 car garage. Yes at the time I was up to 8 cars. We then bought MOSEYING a 42' pilot house ocean going pasagemaker for cruising North to Canada & beyond. We spent most of our time on the boat as it is a fairly comfortabl live aboard. From Anacortes We moved back to Covina when the real estate market got hot. We sold two rental houses & then nought a 80 acts ranch in Prineville Organ. 38 miles Norteast of Bend. At this place we turned a cattle ranch into a hay farm, buying all the tractors ,diesel Swather, bayler Etc. We had 3 Quarter horses & a mule. We still had the boat in LaConner Wa. & weren't using it. So I wanted to still be involved with the boat, Melinda wanted to stay full time on the farm with the horses. So after 33 good years of marriage we divorced. So now I'm back up in LaConner. I have gotten heavy into 2 step & Western Swing dancing as there is live music to dance 7 night's a week. Kinda long I guess but that's what I have some since being at COHS!
