More about me

I'm 66 years old and in pretty good health. I've been married for 43 years and have four children and eight grandchildren. I'm retired from The Boeing Company after 22 years and after a full 50 years of work at a variety of jobs and places. We have traveled to many places around the world, and have settled in what we believe to be the most beautiful place in the world: the Northern Olympic Peninsula in Washington state where the climate is mild, the people are outstanding and scenery, recreational opportunities and living conditions are unmatched. We are currently building the first new home we have ever had, along with a huge shop/hobby center - which keeps us very busy. We have two dogs, two cats, and one Cockatoo. We live on a five acre minifarm in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains, in a serene spot in the woods, surrounded by trees, with neighbors hundreds of feet away. Yet, we can be in town within 15 minutes or less whenever we want to.
