Craig's Story

Hi Everyone (circa 2019), Past 57+ years has been most interesting and challenging. My wife Carol and I have been together for 34+ years. We each were married previously and share a blended family of five adult children, 15 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and two cats. We moved (2013) to Rochester Hills, Michigan after living eight years on Lake Huron coast (East Tawas) in northern Michigan. I am still employed (online) as Contributing Faculty at Walden University, an online institution of higher learning. I serve as research course instructor, committee chairperson, and university research reviewer for many doctoral students located around the world. Have been teaching and coaching students in research projects for Masters and doctoral programs for past 22 years. Proud to say I have served on dissertation committee for nearly 130 successful PhD graduates! Prior to my career transition into education, I worked as a Register Professional Engineer at various architectural firms around Detroit area since 1973. I retired from General Motors Worldwide Facilities in 2001, yet have been working continuously. What is this about retirement?? No way, just too much going on. Remember when we some...Expand for more
times felt "bored" as children? Not so now, life is an incredible adventure... Both my wife and I have been active in our communities. In northern Michigan (East Tawas), I served as a city planning commissioner, volunteer mediator for non-criminal court cases, board member for Community Mediation Services of Gaylord, Michigan, board member for Unity of the Lakes (non-denominational Christian church), mentor for youth at risk in Iosco County Probate Court, and parent moderator for From Decisions to Actions (an intervention program). I sometimes return to northern Michigan as a guest speaker. We lost a son-in-law (age 37) seven years ago and then one of my adopted sons (age 39) in October 2012, and then another adopted son (age 47) in February 2019. Other than those three transitions, all are healthy and engaged in living active lives. BTW: Matt Sokol, my oldest grandson, plays with L.A. Chargers (Practice Team) as Tight End (TE). Matt graduated from Michigan State University. Go Spartans! Sooo proud of him! Hey, what's 57 years between friends?
