I am very proud of my four children, I believe we have raised some good citizens, and now looking forward to the grandchildren. Our two grandchildren are in Gilbert Arizona just outside of Phoenix with the oldest daughter and her husband. Our son and his wife just moved to Austin and are expecting their first (a boy) in November (2017). One of our twin girls married in 2016 and lives in Houston, the other will marry in October 2017 and lives in Ann Arbor.

I am re-establishing a Michigan presence, coming back to sink at least part of the taproot. Very much looking forward to reconnecting to classmates, old friends, and listening to the life's stories, travels, and experiences.
