Relationship: Married
Hometown: Centerville, Ohio
Places I've been: I have been to 39 of the 50 states including Alaska and Hawaii. I need to get to Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Utah, Minnesota, Texas, and maybe N Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Alabama, Nebraska. I have been to Italy, France, Austria, Russia, Germany, Poland, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Mexico, Canada, The Bahamas, Venezuela, and all the countries in the Eastern-Western-Southern caribbian cruise circuits.
More about me: I have been married 41 years. I am not sure I can remember being single (just kidding).

I retired in 2004, but started driving a school bus. That job gets me some people exposure of all ages. The electrical contracting industry was my career job.

I graduated from The University of Akron and spent the next 36 years in management (electrical contracting industry).

I have (2) daughters and (6) grandchildren (3 boys & 3 girls).
Activities: I ride my Yamaha V-STAR, hiking, bicycling, kayaking, roller blade, and flying my radio controlled model airplanes. I love the outdoors, still enjoy yard work, and playing in my flower garden.
Favorite Charities: United Way
Favorite Music: Anything except RAP.
Favorite TV Shows: History, Learning, HGTV, PBS, National Geographic, and Discovery channels
Favorite Movies: I don't watch any that leave me not feeling good about life. I don't care for violence, which eliminates a lot of movies these days. But, I have seen many good movies...too many to name.
Favorite Books: Almost all my reading time is spent on a computer. This is my favorite past time that does not require much energy.
Favorite Quotes: "If I had known I was going to live this long...I would have taken better care of myself"
Favorite People: Anyone honest and trying to make the world a better place.
Favorite Places: Everywhere I have been is a favorite place. There is always something that has made it special and I always have a good time. There is so much to see in this world.
