end when I married and moved to Boulder, Colo, then Denver.
Like many overachievers I went on to get my Masters degree, become a Seminole Band Chief (Tusekia Harjo) and like Ken retire from Civil Service after 30 years.

Giving lasting value, a vision, meaning, and direction for my life. Thanks, Flanders
