Relationship

Married

Hometown

Minneapolis and Robbinsdale, Minnesota, with a half-year stint in Cannon Falls and a couple of weeks each summer at my grandparents' farm near St. Michael.

Places I've been

High School Name (City, State)
Robbinsdale High School, Robbinsdale MN
College Name
College of St. Thomas (now the University of St. Thomas), St. Paul, MN.
College Graduation Year
1956
College Graduation Major/Concentration
BA in English. Attended grad school in clinical psychology for a year but left when I realized that field was no fun at all.
Occupation(s)
Worked seven years for a consulting actuarial firm, then 26 years for Prudential Insurance's Minneapolis home office (began as a magazine editor and PR writer, then started their AV Department and managed that). Left at 55 to work at home. With my wife, Mickey, operate WordMagic Communications (business writing and editing) and www.coprolites.org (a fun organization for those "blessed with more than enough maturity"). Still not sure what I want to be when I grow up.

More about me

Have a wonderful wife (Mickey), six great kids, eleven extraordinary grandkids, and two great-grandkids. We live on a 2-1/2 acre wooded mosquito farm in Ramsey, Minnesota, in the far northern suburbs of Minneapolis.

Enjoy writing. Working on a couple of books. Publish a free email newsletter each month that takes a humorous (I hope) look at aging. (Samples can be read at www.coprolites.org/archives.html).

We like to travel -- usually to visit our kids, but we've also spent time in Ireland and taken riverboat tours on the Danube and Seine.
