Wow. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since out last reunion, which was the last time I was in Billings. Even crazier is the 40 year timeframe – life indeed goes by at a very fast clip.


I have spent the last 30 years in Phoenix, AZ, with time mostly split between my career (which has been very challenging – mostly in a good way) and my immediate family (which has been better than I could ever have dreamed!). My wife Peggy and I celebrated our 35th anniversary this year, and we have two great children, Ashley & Eric, both married and gainfully employed (Yay!) The last 40 years have been full of watching kids’ soccer and football games, fun trips, graduations, marriages, the birth of a granddaughter, 30 years of citrus harvests, and very little snow. :)

I’m looking forward to going to the reunion and seeing some of the best friends and some of the best people I have known in my entire life. It is always a source of pride for me to say I was born and raised in Montana, “the last great place”!
