Douglas's Story

What an interesting time it has been so far. I have little memories of Michigan though, seems like a very long time ago, and it really was. I have retired and moved to Hillsboro, Oregon from Honolulu. A very nice town outside Portland. So with retirement has come time for me to reflect. Leaving Michigan was good for me. Actually, I kind of forgot about it. Only returned a few years ago for a short visit. Saw my old debate partner, David Ling. We shared our history. Recent communicated with Bill Coelius by e-mail, who generally correct my spelling and grammar. But that has been about my only contacts with Michigan, since leaving in 62. I moved to San Francisco and attend college, graduate school and law school there. Practice law for about 20 years. It was fun but demanding.

She and her husband are teachers and live in Rouen, where Joan of Arc met her end. So my vacations are take me and my wife to France. My French is poor at best but I now have time to learn it. My wife is from the Marianna Island, She is Chamorro. She also has a daughter same age has mine, who speaks French and live there for a time. She, Marina, works in the insurance industry and so we have a lot in common. Now we are exploring our new state. Oregon is a very diverse and pretty state, with lots of really good wines. It has been just a lot of fun from living in the Haight-Ashbury and the student movement of the 60' and 70's to wondering around Europe now. I have had many grand times. Just having lived in San Francisco, Honolulu and now Portland has been amazing. Live has been good. Well I am off to exercise. I do need to loss a few pounds, to much good wine and food. Doug
