Linda and Corkey serving Christmas dinner at the Union Gospel Mission - 2003.

We have two children, a boy, Pat and a girl, Kelley.  Both are married and doing well for themselves.

Kelley works in marketing for Microsoft and Patrick has just taken a job recentley with a law firm in Cincinnati, Ohio.  We are very proud of both our children and their families and we don't see them enough.

For the last 28 yrs, I've worked for the Spokane Valley Fire Dept of which I have recently retired (01) as Captain.  Very exciting job, no two days the same, but time to move on. I stop in from time to time to see the guys.  The old guys ask about retirerment and the new guys say, I remember you or I've heard of you.

Linda and I still like to do a lot of bicycling and camping so we have incorporated the two.  We have a small fifth wheel trailer that we take to the camp site then bicycle from there.  With all of the rail trails around we have plenty of places to ride.

I've also entered my second childhood this year and we acquired a Harley.  Love to ride.  Both my daughter and her husband have Harleys and we hope to ride more together.  It's a blast.

I still play with the little bonsai trees in the greenhouse.  It's always spring or summer in there.

As you can see I have a lot to keep me busy and I keep threatening to go back to work so that I can get some rest.  Ya, right.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this summer and re-visiting the good old days.
