Lacking anywhere else on the site to place this.... Many of you had Janie Bittenger as a counslor while at Palo Verde. She was then, and since, my parents next-door neighbor. Janie passed away in the early morning hours of May 23, 2010.
When I created this profile I also made note of going to college with Bill Brewer after high school. Sadly, I learned from Carol the other day that Bill passed away in Sept. 2009.
Bill Brewer and I went to college together in Florida. He went into the Army and I went into the Navy. After the Navy I worked at KOLD in the news dept with Patty Bryers. During that time I ran into Karen Shields and we did story on her.
Over the years I have lived here in Tucson, Anson TX, Niceville FL, Memphis TN. Following a divorce I became a single parent when my kids were 5, 7, and 9. That used up the '80's and early 90's.
With the kids grown I built a small ranch south of Tucson, wrote for trade journals, and traveled doing seminars and speaking engagements. During that time I was invested in a local bar and owned a Karaoke operation. The ranch was sold at the end of the last century and I got away from the bar and Karaoke load.
Auto racing has been a large part of my life's activities and for the most part I have stayed involved at one level or another. Not long ago I was a NASCAR official at Tucson Raceway Park serving as Chief Technical Director.
For the last eight years I have mostly 'piddled'. I put a lot of effort into family genealogy including spending a month in England digging up much of our history and ancestors. I spent some time in Houston helping out a cousin down there and can often be found up in Las Vegas. My presence has been requested in Spain and Australia, but, I also take care many of my mother's needs here so those trips are on hold. They will each be for a month or more.
For the last few years I can be most often found, regardless of my physical location, by going to the forums on Sean Hannity's website. I am not hard to identify... I use my real name.
School Story:
Dean Evan's loading a man with potential heart attack at a football game into my car and having me drive them both to the hospital.
On a cold night on the sidelines of a game Kathy Martin came down and wrapped around me to warm me up. I think it was Evan's who came and chewed us out for inappropriate behavior.
Carrying Jacqui Earl (class of '67) into the boys locker room. I forget how I avoided trouble over that one.
