Hometown

Blackwell, Oklahoma

Places I've been

I've been to and lived in most of the 50 states, Mexico and Canada. Not that I remember much about all of them, my father was a boilermaker that built large tanks, antennas, etc. so we traveled quite often. For example, I started the first grade in Baton Rouge, La., then moved to Battle Creek, Mich. and finally ended up in Billings, Ok. Vancouver was one of my favorites.

More about me

I've always been sports oriented, played football, basketball and baseball through highschool and college.   This continued until into my fifties and am now playing golf, which I always considered an old man's game.   Always preferred to participate rather than sit in front of a TV. 

Activities

Presently, during the summer months, I try to play at least 9 holes of golf every other day. We have a RV and take an extended trip during the summer (Alaska and Yukon last year) plus trips into Arizona, Colorado and Oklahoma to visit children and grandchildren where I try to play some of the most intersting courses.
