The Best Part - My family!"

Bobbie kept the household running while I tried to bring home the bacon. By golly, that seems to have worked! We believe we were truly blessed along the way to have our family turn out as it has, thus far.

Our daughter, Jenni, and her husband, Brian, gave us two Grand daughters a few years ago - Ashley and Brittany are doing great! Last January they purchased a new condo in Simi Valley, CA, where they can enjoy the peace of a lake right out their front door, as they watch bunnies and deer – all in the shadows of LA – awesome!

Besides work as a financial consultant, Brian coaches teams ’de jour, and supports his alumni at California Lutheran University. Jenni is teaching at the CLU Pre-school and makes motherhood look easy in that fast-paced community. I don’t know how they do it, but in my book, they are building some pretty fine people in that household!

Brad, ’98 Ag, has just pinned on Captain in the Air Force. He is stationed Great Falls, MT as a Missile Operations Officer and was recently selected as Flight Commander. He seems to be doing things a lot smarter that his dad - he is often recognized for his outstanding performance. He goes for hiking, hunting, and skiing in the local areas. OK, I’m biased a bit, but he’s a great guy!
