Hello from north Brooklyn Park MN!

I have been retired since May 2005 after working for IDS/American Express Financial Advisors (now Ameriprise) for 34+ years, mostly in the technology area. My wife Marie and I have been married for 41 years and have 2 adult daughters. Marie still works which really helps, especially with the cost of health insurance these days. It's getting tougher to keep her in the workforce, however. We just moved into a 1 level townhouse which I really enjoy.

Life has been good these 50 years. I have been blessed to have a great family and had a good career. I have been able to keep in contact with my good friends from work since retirement, and have attempted to make contact with some old RHS classmates in the last couple of years. Being on this 50-year reunion committee has provided the opportunity to see some old friends and re-live some memories.

I do some volunteer work when I can, and have a dog who keeps me company during the day. I'm still an avid sports fan, but it is getting tougher with the sorry state of Minnesota athletic teams. I have about 50 CD's from the 60's and early 70's which I listen to while driving - no radio!

These 50 years have gone by fast. I cannot wait to see you all again at the reunion on September 17th!
