Our two sons were born (1982 & 1985) in Idaho Falls.

Called to Grace Episcopal Church, Astoria, OR Summer 2002 where I served as Priest for ten years - until retirement in Summer 2012.
Currently retired in Astoria, OR though serving as part-time Vicar at the Episcopal Church on the Long Beach Peninsula in WA across the Columbia River from Astoria. My wife, Marilyn, who still has a few years until retirement, continues her employment at our local hospital. My responsibilities in house and yard have significantly increased and I camp, read and tend to other hobbies as time allows. We enjoy sharing in the lives of our four children; we also enjoy a total of four grandchildren (will there be more?).
