Shortly after graduating from Macalester in 1970, I met a wonderful lady named Paulette, and the week after the reunion we will be celebrating 40 years of marriage. We are blessed with two sons, both married and living within 20 miles of us, and they have given us 4 spectacular grandchildren, the lights of our lives. We lived in Eden Prairie, MN and Carroll, IA before settling in Stillwater in 1980. I have been involved in the common carrier trucking industry for 33 years, am still working full time but hope to cut back to part time within the next couple of years. We have a very modest cabin near Spooner, WI and my idea of heaven is watching the grandkids splash around in the lake! I have been blessed with too many things to count, including a new freedom and a new happiness.
