More about me

I am an old colorado native.  Was an educator for many years.  Taught Gerontology and  Thanatology for a good many years.  Last 15 years i taught MIS. 

Have 3 kids, oldest 41 and a mechanic. 2nd 37 and a professional athlete. Daughter 28 and a homemaker. 

7 grandkids that we have spent a lot of time raising.  Still ski with them every week in the winter.

My interests, other than grandkids are golf, skiing, fishing, paragliding and photography. 

Spent a lot of time going to school, had a maintenance man that worked with me, at one time, tell me "you've got more degrees than a thermometer.  You know where they stick thermometers."  Didn't necessarily get any smarter by degrees anyway.
